Film: Dobermann
Country of Production: France
Starring the cooler than thou French husband and wife team Vincent Cassel (Black Swan, Irreversible) and Monica Bellucci (Irreversible, Shoot ‘Em Up), Dobermann is Jan Kounen’s stylish, supremely violent, rip-roaring action movie. With its ultra-hip look and slick camerawork it ushered in a new era of French action films and has become a hugely requested cult classic.
Charismatic villain Dobermann (Cassel) leads a gang of depraved henchmen in a world of crime, drugs and endless violence. The gang boldly pull off a blood-soaked Paris bank heist in broad daylight under the noses of the police. Ruthless police officer (Tcheky Karyo) takes the law into his own hands and makes it his mission to stop Dobermann by any means necessary.
With its seedy, psychotic characters, beautifully choreographed explosive action sequences and high octane violence Dobermann is the dog’s proverbials.

Film: Louise-Michel
Country of Production: France
French filmmakers Gustave de Kervern and Benoit Delepine write and direct this absurdist black comedy. When the factory where she works closes overnight, ex-con cross-dresser Louise (Yolande Moreau) comes up with the idea that the workers pool their compensation money and use it to hire a hitman to take out their uncaring boss. Security guard Michel (Bouli Lanners) seems like the ideal man to carry out the job. But the plan comes wildly unstuck as Michel turns out to be woefully inept as a hired assassin, and it becomes increasingly difficult for the workers to identify exactly which capitalist culprit made the final decision to close the factory.
