ORIGINAL TITLE
Le petit lieutenant

Xavier Beauvois’s tough, eruptive deconstruction of the police procedural follows Antoine (Jalil Lespert), a young police academy graduate from provincial Le Havre who joins a murder investigation within Paris’s busiest precinct and forms a complicated mentorship with a newly sober officer, Caroline Vaudieu (Nathalie Baye). Meticulously crafted and featuring a strong ensemble, The Young Lieutenant is keenly interested in the seemingly dull and tense routines inherent to a genre that is, ultimately, sustained by violence.
