This gritty police drama shows us the underbelly of the Parisian drug trade. Lulu is a tough streetwise narcotics cop who, like a Frank Serpico or a Dirty Harry Callahan, doesn't play by the rules or kowtow to his weak and/or corrupt superiors. Lulu thrives in this violent world, where sheer guts can overcome his squad's deficiencies of money and equipment. Despite the ruthless environment that he lives and works in every day, he still manages somehow to maintain his humanity. (imdb)

Parisian plainclothes narcs get the full Tavernier treatment, which means they are darkly and ruthlessly satirized, resulting in a "Dirty Harry" where everyone is basically just as dirty as Harry. The 140 minutes are very densely packed, and I wouldn't recommend trying to absorb this in one sitting especially if you're reading the subtitles, but moderately portioned it's quite fascinating to watch as crime-fighting gets the absolute piss taken out of it by cinema's harshest cynic.
