Paris Police 1900
1905
Showing a very different version of Belle Époque Paris, we enter the city upon the sudden death of President Félix Faure, and rising anarchy amid the prominence of the far right and anti-Semitism. Called out of retirement to restore order, the police chief will cross paths with a corrupt cop, an ambitious young detective and a courtesan enlisted as a spy. Created by comic book artist Fabien Nury, this is a violent, gritty and gripping drama.
