Like retro clothing, it's old, it's new and it's cool as hell.
The Connection tells the French side of the French Connection (an infamous drug ring in Marseilles in the 70s, brought to the screen in 1971 by William Friedkin (The Exorcist)), and does it with all of the skill, art and balls of the film it compliments.
And what balls they are. Jean Dujardin plays French judge Pierre Michel who will stop at nothing to capture Gilles Lellouche in the role of the drug kingpin who has to fight the rival upstart gang leader portrayed by Benoît Magimel.
Great story telling, amazing cast and Cédric Jimenez's (Novembre, Bac Nord / The Stronghold) vision is as pure as Marseillais heroin.

Charming French thriller with a hint of a French Connection.
