Film Synopsis
France is doing everything it can to combat racial prejudice, and nowhere
is this more apparent than in the police service. The latest beneficiary
of a campaign of positive discrimination is 25-year-old Khalid Belkacem,
a man who has failed at just about everything else in his life. He
is so inept that he couldn't even pass his driving test! But this is
France, the country that believes in giving everyone a chance, no matter
how congenitally useless they are. The police need men like Khalid...

The best of American film noir
In the 1940s, the shadowy, skewed visual style of 1920s German expressionism was taken up by directors of American thrillers and psychological dramas, creating that distinctive film noir look.
