Paris Police 1905 2022

The representation of the darker side of the Parisian Belle Époque continues following "Paris Police 1900" (2021), but succeeds in a greater concentration on the main characters without dispersing in complex political questions. Even more sordid, it delves into the persecution of homosexuality and the syphilis epidemic that was an almost certain death sentence. There is a sleaze in the reflection of this early 20th century society that attempts to counteract with some moments of humor that are somewhat shocking, and on some occasions take the risk of driving the characters towards caricature.
