Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector Maïwenn's first idea for the title was "Police", but another film already had this name: none other than famous French director Maurice Pialat's film in 1985. Her next idea was, "Vous êtes de la police?", but it too was already a film title. One day, as her young child was learning to write, he misspelled "Police", and she saw in front of her eyes the perfect title considering the subject of her movie, with a child's writing: "Polisse".

Featured review
An authentic gem. A real one. Not a thriller nor a crime movie. Actually, this amazing feature reminds me Xavier Beauvois' LE PETIT LIEUTENANT, released in 2005. The real picture, poignant, terrific life of the daily procedural life of cops. Here, it is the child protection squad; a bunch of men and women who fight against child molesters, people who sometimes rape their own children !!! Policemen and women who have to face the ugliness, the most disgusting side of the real life. In this film, you cry, laugh, feel your heart under pressure when watching this wonderful performance given by the actors, so close to reality. Yes, the characters, and not only the cops, look real ones. A powerful, vivid movie that may give you the feeling to be hit by an express train.
The ending is really awful, but I won't tell you more. Go and see this masterpiece. Now!!!
