The surprise. Whereas one expects a small documentary " mode " and surely rather narcissistic on the world of the photojournalists, crunched by one as of their, " Reporters " the frightening mirror of a political reality suddenly exposed proves to be. Really demystificator (cf Chirac), corrodent with wish, the film shows the power of the image imparablement, its subversive capacity.

Choice of Arms

Painting of an underworld
8 November 2000
On the basis of a very traditional diagram, almost austere in its banality, Michel Grisolia, the scenario writer, gave his realizer a springboard from which this last built a true psychological drama, rich of subtle nuances and learnedly worked drafts. The police aspect interests less Corneau than the painting of the underworld, than the denunciation of the police methods or than the purulent proletarian company of today. The setting in scene is fantastic and remarkable is interpretation (Depardieu!), let us announce however a light Manicheism and certain doubtful psychological analyses.

Original story but...
7 November 2000
Although based on an original scenario, and especially played very well by Dennis Christopher, this film suffers much from the extreme banality of its setting in scene, whose heaviness and defect of imagination cause some gaps. Some beautiful angles, however.
