Review of Police (2007) by John D — 29 Nov 2007

Although this remains a relatively unengaging effort, the emotional coldness of the film is obvious evidence of Breillat's (scriptwriter here) later work -- especially in Marceau's character. Not Depardieu's strongest hour, however.

It has been claimed by editor Yann Dedet that Pialat's films often tend "more towards emotion than comprehension," but we're left with little of either at the end of this -- and probably less emotion.
