Police Violence – justice – Moral dilemmas
Stéphanie, a police officer working for Internal Affairs, is assigned to a case involving a young man severely wounded during a tense and chaotic demonstration in Paris. While she finds no evidence of illegitimate police violence, the case takes a personal turn when she discovers the victim is from her hometown.
- “In Dossier 137, a piercing slow-burn examination of police brutality, the tables have turned, and the cops have become the criminals, making us question the very notion of policing in a France racked by social unrest and class division. Made with the same laser-cut precision as his previous work, but with a greater emphasis on procedure than before, Moll’s new thriller puts the viewer in an uneasy place — between law and order, good cop and bad cop, protester and rioter — raising questions for which there are no easy answers.”
‘Dossier 137’ Review: Léa Drucker in Smart French Police Procedural - “I’d happily watch an entire TV series built around the movie’s indomitable protagonist, a principled police investigator named Stéphanie (a splendid Léa Drucker), who, amid serious pushback from her colleagues, sets out to identify the cops who opened fire on a teen-age protester, leaving him with grievous injuries.”
