Le Petit Lieutenant (2005)
After watching several French films, I’ve come to realize the French are a different sort. Not in a bad way, but just different. Here a French police woman reconnects with her ex-boyfriend, is an ex-alcoholic, and was a mother, before her son died at a young age. Life is tough it seems. The young lieutenant learns the ropes with her and other detectives as they chase a couple murderers. The divergence from Hollywood and Hollywood’s tendency towards star power rather than story is refreshing.
