Police
Maurice Pialat
The ambivalent relationship between an unhinged policeman and a young drugs pusher, both played by legends of French cinema pushed to the limit by Pialat. His run-ins with Sophie Marceau (19 years old but already a star) are the stuff of cinema lore. The result is a film that bears an unmistakable aura of authenticity, which drew large audiences seduced by its biting realism. Venice Best Actor Award for Depardieu.
