with French director Ladj Ly (The
2019 film Les misérables, which also
deals with the suburbs of Paris), who won the Jury Prize at the Cannes
Film Festival and was nominated for a BAFTA.
Presenting a dramatic and chaotic narrative of social unrest in the Paris
suburbs, the production tells a kind of story that frames street conflict as an
archetypal Ancient Greek tragedy. Stating that the movie was designed like an
opera and the choreography was arranged accordingly, the director says that
before the shooting began, the cast and production team rehearsed outside the
French capital (without CGI) for 52 days. In the film, which the director presents with a magnificent
cinematographic narration, the action-packed long scenes shot in one shot,
called the plan sequence, offer the audience an atmosphere full of tension that
will remain under their influence for a long time.
