2011 Cannes Critics’ Panel: Day 3 – Maiwenn’s Polisse

Date:

Following 2006’s Pardonnez-moi and 2009’s The Actress’ Ball, in her third outing as a filmmaker, Maïwenn goes for the socially-minded type of a film packaged as a ensemble comedy with her misspelled titled Polisse. Apparently this is one more sample of actors-turned directors bringing out the best from their acting peers, Maïwenn has plenty of disgruntled and emotionally tired policemen and women who collectively have nothing to bring home to their loved ones. If you click below, this appears to be a favourite among a select few. (Note there is an error in the grid: Time Out London’s David Calhoun gave the Lynne Ramsay’s film a 3.5 (not 4) – we apologize for the error. The change will be reflected in the next grid view.)
