The Connection (La French) Cédric Jimenez, France/Belgium World Premiere Marseille, 1975.
Pierre Michel, a young police magistrate with a wife and children, has just been transferred to help crack down on the city’s organized crime. He decides to take on the French Connection, a Mafia-run operation that exports heroin all over the world. Not paying heed to any warnings, he leads a one-man campaign against Mafia kingpin Gaëtan Zampa, the most untouchable godfather of all. But Pierre Michel soon discovers that to get results he will have to change his methods. Starring Jean Dujardin, Gilles Lellouche, Céline Sallette and Benoît Magimel.
Dujardin is playing Pierre Michel and Benoît Magimel will, presumably, be Gaëtan Zampa.
I give my respect to those who have earned it; to everyone else, I'm civil.share
