Police Page #2

Synopsis: Mangin, a police inspector in Paris, leans hard on informants to get evidence on three Tunisian brothers who traffic in drugs. He arrests one, Simon, and his girl-friend Noria. Simon's brothers go to their lawyer. He springs Noria, who promptly steals 2 million francs that belong to the Tunisians. They suspect her of the theft; her life as well as the lawyer's is in danger. Meanwhile, Noria is playing with both the lawyer and Mangin's affections. Mangin is mercurial anyway: intimidating and bloodying suspects, falling for a police commission trainee before flipping for Noria, wearing his emotions on his sleeve. Can he save the lawyer and Noria, and can he convince her to love?

Hurry up!

Your watch...

- I take everything off?

- Everything.

Bend over.

Cough.

OK, get dressed.

So what do I put?

You tell me one thing.

Then you change it.

- Now I'm telling the truth.

- It wasn't the truth before?

I didn't think it was him.

He's pathetic.

He had the credit card on him.

We had to book him.

Yeah, but he's a widower.

He's got 4 kids, one crippled.

When I reported it,

I didn't know he had the card.

You knew that before.

It's no use moping now.

Recognize him?

Yeah, that's him.

- Can I go to the toilet?

- You should have pissed before.

Jerk. You have no right.

He's got some nerve!

I can't stand this.

You can't stand it!

You'll get over it.

I've been waiting hours.

A**hole!

That's right, let it out.

It's like a box of cheese.

It's got a label.

- How much?

- About $150.

It'll last you ten years!

That thing?

The search turned up nothing.

We should have planted 100 grams

on you. We know you deal.

You search my apartment,

find nothing

and call me a dealer.

You're way off.

Watch it! Sit down.

What's your name?

Slimane.

They call you Simon.

Born?

August 161955. Tunis.

How long have you been living

with Noria?

About a year.

Got a record?

None.

Source of income?

I haven't worked in 2 months.

I used to work for a company

in the suburbs.

$400 a month. No future in it.

Got a bank account?

In your papers, we found an order

for a new car. How come?

It's a car I ordered

a month ago.

- How much is your rent?

- It's Noria's place!

I asked you how much.

I don't know $100, $150...

She pays it.

No bank account,

but you have savings!

I don't even have money

put aside.

- How did you get by, then?

- Off the savings from my job.

What savings?

I don't have any left.

I spent it all.

- The down payment on the car?

- My savings.

So of the $2250 we found,

none of it's yours.

No. It's all Noria's.

Try and prove me wrong!

When did you first come to France?

Three years ago.

Why?

As a tourist.

I wanted some new clothes,

get dressed up, buy a suit,

look sharper...

- Got any family?

- I have 5 brothers.

- They in France?

- In Tunis.

Do you know Raoul Bensimi?

Or Tarak Louati?

We're from the same neighborhood.

- Ever see them in France?

- No.

Well, Tarak, yes.

I see him once in a while.

But you saw Raoul in Marseille.

- Ever been to Marseille?

- No, never.

Well, yes I have.

I went there to visit him.

Once.

Why visit him?

You must have had a reason.

No, I just went down there.

Bensimi says he met you

and Louati in Marseille.

He says you wanted him

to sell heroin for you.

Bensimi is lying.

Some guy named Simon gave him

a phone number in Paris...

It's mine, sure I know it!

Catherine Breillat

Catherine Breillat (French; born 13 July 1948) is a French filmmaker, novelist and professor of auteur cinema at the European Graduate School. In the film business for over 40 years, Catherine Breillat chooses to normalize previously taboo subjects in cinema. Taking advantage of the medium of cinema, Breillat juxtaposes different perspectives to highlight irony found in society. Through film, she attempts to redefine the female narrative in cinema by showing female characters who undergo similar experiences as their male counterparts. Many of Breillat's films explore the transition between girlhood and adulthood. The females of her films attempt to escape their adolescence by seeking individuality. There is an unsaid silence in society for girls to hide their sexuality and desires unless directly confronted about them. Breillat offers a platform to discuss female pleasure and sexual responsibility by exposing social and sexual conflicts in her films' themes. more…
