Review of The Young Lieutenant (2005) by Ld P — 17 Aug 2009
NOTE: I now have five special lists. Foreign Oscar Nominated. the five films nominated each year for Oscar foreign film 2009-1975. I love art film and foreign films. I saw Fellini Satyricon when I was 18.
and I saw I am Curious Yellow and IF when I was 16. see and use these lists to select some good foreign films like I am doing,.!! enjoy: Le petit lieutenant (English: The Young Lieutenant) is a 2005 drama by French director Xavier Beauvois.
Nice Police thriller might be dull for the dull heads and thriller killer crowd.. I enjoyed it especially for its gritty reality and the protagonist is fighting (and winning) her battle from alcoholism.
She even goes some AA meetings int his movie. She won a Cesar Award for: Best Actress ? Leading Role (Nathalie Baye). There is the think of a possible romantic involvement with a younger cop fresh out of the academy--Antoine Derouere.
He is married. So this film is really a day to day look at their lives and police procedure as the murder investigation proceeds. I enjoyed the film strong 3 or 4 stars.
