23:45. Drama. France 2019, 102 min. Directed by Ladj Ly. Starring: Damien Bonnard, Alexis Manenti, Djibril Zonga, Issa Perica, Al-Hassan Ly. In French with Russian subtitles. Stephane begins service in the Montfermeil police. At one point, this Paris banlieue was inhabited by the characters of Hugo’s novel, but now it’s full of migrants. Poverty, crime, and social injustice are as prevalent now as they were 200 years ago, but now with the addition of racial and religious intolerance. In order to stand up to local gangs, the police themselves sometimes resort to less-than-legal methods, and one of those cases begins a down-and-out war on the streets of the neighborhood. The film won the Jury Prize at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.
