Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for fans of cool, efficient anti-heroes and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. Lean and efficient, like its main character. Fans of Le Samouraï or Julius Caesar should feel right at home. Paris does a lot of the work, and it looks wonderful.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 41 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you want something to relax to.

Set in 1899 Paris, a young police sergeant is chosen to infiltrate a group of anarchists, an opportunity he sees to rise through the ranks. However, he soon finds himself becoming attached to the group.
