Jean Dujardin in “November – The five days after the Bataclan”
What happened after the tragedy of the jihadist attacks on France on November 13, 2015? How did we move in those hectic and confused days, where Politics wanted results to show to the nation and the tracks seemed to vanish before our eyes?
Cédric Jimenez, not new to tell the behavior of the forces of order (his Bac North had caused much discussion in France), follows in the five days following the Bataclan massacre how the counter-terrorism services try to organize themselves.
The leads to follow are endless, they intertwine and mingle like the red threads that connect the photos of the many suspects on the office wall and the camera jumps from one desk to another, from one tailing to another, while whoever must try to coordinate everything – an excellent and sober Jean Dujardin in the role of Commissioner Fredthe equally convincing Sandrine Kimberlain in that of her superior – they have to deal with mistakes, weariness, recriminations, pressures.
There is no “hero”, but only the teamwork that the film brings out scene after scene, as pressing and exciting as the reality of those days.
For those who appreciate movies that take you to the heart of the action.
