Synopsis : This is a stylish, 70’s crime thriller inspired by true events. It tells the story of a real-life Marseille magistrate Pierre Michel and his relentless crusade to dismantle the most notorious drug smuggling operation in history: the French Connection. In his crosshair is charismatic and wealthy kingpin, Gaëtan “Tany” Zampa, who runs the largest underground heroin trade into the states.
The Parisian “Apart from the remarkable reconstitution of the Marseille of the 1970s, this out of breath thriller combines ingeniously, during more than two hours, well sequenced actions plans and intimate scenes.”
