How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A gritty police procedural where moral compromise and coercion tighten around its characters like a noose. This is Paris crime cinema stripped of romance, dealing in the messy consequences of police pressure and underworld survival.
