Films in the 2000s
Voilà dix ans que les chemins de René et de François se sont séparés. De l'époque glorieuse
où, flics, ils écumaient le quartier Montmartre, il ne leur reste qu'une poignée de souvenirs,
l'argent de leurs ripouseries s'étant évaporé avec le temps. Tout à une fin. Jusqu'à ce que ça
recommence. René, à la limite de la clochardisation, survit avec pour domicile un bateau
déglingué amarré dans le bassin de l'arsenal en contrebas à la BRB, la Brigade de Répression
du Banditisme. Le destin s'emploie à réunir de nouveau René et François. Cette fois non plus
côte à côte, mais l'un contre l'autre. Passionné depuis toujours par les courses de chevaux et
sûr d'un tuyau aussi gagnant que crevé, René veut à tout prix emprunter une somme dérisoire
pour jouer. Il va se retrouver ainsi embarqué dans une affaire de blanchiment d'argent à
laquelle sont mêlés des commerçants chinois de Belleville...

Le Genre Humain I
film directed by Claude Lelouch
starring Mathilde Seigner, Maïwenn, Arielle Dombasle, Agnès Soral, Alessandra Martines,
Massimo Ranieri, Michel Leeb, Ticky Holgado, Francis Perrin, Pierre Santini, Grégori Derangère
& Constantin Alexandrov.
L'Histoire
Un SDF pour qui la fin est préférable à la faim, une vendeuse de bijoux... qui n'est en réalité
qu'une croqueuse de diamants, un faux chauffeur de taxi mais véritable escroc, un impresario
aussi séduisant que machiavélique, un agent immobilier véreux, un réalisateur à la recherche
d'un sujet, un restaurant clandestin qu'on ne trouve dans aucun guide, un Christ crucifié devant
le Sacré Coeur, des politiciens mélomanes et échangistes... bref tout un inventaire à la Prévert.
Un couple de chanteurs (Shaa et Massimo) qui commentent en chansons ce microcosme
humain. Ces deux chanteurs vont même devenir peu à peu les personnages principaux de
cette aventure, et à eux seul symboliser quelques unes des joies et des difficultés à vivre dans
la ville lumière...

Lemaire, Dominique Pinon, Judith Magre, Anouk Aimé, Liane Foly, Salomé Lelouch, Anguun &

The Story
Ilva runs her stepfather's Eden Palace cinema in wartime Paris against a background of
Resistance activities, the frequent sight of less fortunate Parisians being shipped east in
cattle-trains and, later, the impact of the D-Day landings. Over time a number of other lives
intersect with hers, including a German officer and then two American servicemen. A post-war
shooting comes to dominate her story along, perhaps surprisingly, with cinema itself.
