In His Shadow
A French film that depicts the violence present in the low-income neighborhoods of France. In His Shadow tells the story of two half-brothers, one of them blind, who must face an increasingly violent conflict after the death of their father revives old family conflicts. A somewhat conventional thriller, but whose social context gives an interesting twist to the genre.
Novembre
One of the most important and remembered - for the wrong reasons - events in recent French history are the 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, affecting the Stade de France, a concert at the Bataclan theater, and several restaurants in the capital. Directed by one of France's most recognized filmmakers in the action genre, Cédric Jimenez (The Stronghold) and starring Jean Dujardin (The Artist), November: Paris Under Attack is a dramatic thriller that, in the tradition of similar American movies (like Patriots Day), recreates the events and the intense mobilization of law enforcement to find those responsible. Without a doubt, you'll enjoy it if you like this kind of recreation of real tragedies.
