Synopsis<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A dystopian Paris in the not-too-distant future. The city is divided into three distinct zones \u2013 separating its governing class, the haves, and the have-nots \u2013 and ruled with an iron fist by a powerful AI policing system named ALMA. When ALMA’s creator is assassinated, an elite agent and a jaded cop team up to track down the killer. Ad\u00e8le Exarchopoulos and Gilles Lellouche lead a starry cast in another glossy, high-octane police thriller from director <\/span>C\u00e9dric Jimenez<\/b>, this time dissecting the dark underbelly of a divided society far too dependent upon artificial intelligence and spiraling helplessly into a fascist universe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Director’s<\/span> biography<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

A native of Marseille, <\/span>C\u00e9dric Jimenez<\/b> began his film career co-directing the documentary feature <\/span>Who’s the BOSS<\/span><\/i> (2003) with Karole Rocher. He co-wrote and produced Julien Seri’s <\/span>Scorpion<\/span><\/i> and Franck Vestiel’s <\/span>Eden Log<\/span><\/i> (both in 2007), then joined forces with Arnaud Duprey to co-direct <\/span>Paris Under Watch<\/span><\/i> (2012). Drawing inspiration from his home town’s “French Connection” drug-smuggling schemes, he made his solo directing debut with <\/span>The Connection<\/span><\/i> (2014), his first of several French box-office mega-hits. He went on to direct <\/span>The Man with the Iron Heart<\/span><\/i> (2017); and <\/span>The Stronghold<\/span><\/i>, another Marseille police drama, which premiered in Cannes and received six C\u00e9sar nominations, including Best Film and Best Director. <\/span>November<\/span><\/i> (2022), which follows a five-day counterterrorism investigation in the wake of the November 2015 Paris attacks, also premiered in Cannes and received six C\u00e9sar nominations, including Best Director. <\/span>Dog 51<\/i><\/b> was the closing film of this year’s Venice Film Festival.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/screenshot-2025-09-28-at-10.00.31.png” image_size=”full” frame_style=”gray_border” caption_location=”outside-image” align=”center”][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/dog-51-2.jpg” image_size=”full” link=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/win-a-trip-to-paris\/” target=”_blank” align=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
