Roma, 10 Apr. (askanews) – Arrives in Italian cinemas on April 16th “Case 137”, in which Dominik Moll shows an investigation into violent police behavior during a demonstration. The film created a great debate in France and the leading actress Léa Drucker won the César thanks to his interpretation.
Drucker is an inspector for the IGPN, the disciplinary body that supervises the French police. It is she who finds herself investigating the case of a boy, who left with his family for Paris to participate in a demonstration of the gilet jaunes, who is seriously injured by a riot bullet. She will proceed with hers investigative work on one’s colleagues with meticulousness, obstinacy, courage.
Director and actress came to Rome to present the film as part of the French film festival “Rendez-Vous”. “She is a policewoman with great experience, intact, but in fact at a certain point an emotional aspect emerges. – explained Léa Drucker – Life is complex, you can’t control everything, and there is something that resists. The film’s questions are: how can rigor be combined with all this? And how can we ensure that the institution and citizens enter into dialogue?”.
The thriller with great impact but also denunciation it has the ability to show the many points of view of the parties involved, without providing a single thesis. Social disparity is the basis of the gilet jaunes’ anger but the police are also victims of itwhile the State is distant, as the director explained: “I was also interested in showing the inequalities, the fractures within French society, between Paris and rural France, between the rich neighborhoods and the banlieue of the capital, where episodes of police violence often occur. Unfortunately the anger that was there during the gilet jaunnes demonstrations is still there, nothing has changed. There is more and more distrust towards politics and this pushes many people today to look towards the far right”.
