Dossier 137
2025, Dominik Moll

France
115 minutes, French with Russian subtitles

Starring: Léa Drucker, Jonathan Turnbull, Mathilde Roehrich, Guslagie Malanda

A cleverly crafted psychological thriller about the contradictions tearing France apart.

T

A teenager is seriously injured in a clash between protesters from the yellow vest movement and the police. His mother turns to the police in search of justice. The rapidly unfolding plot of a single investigation reveals the very system of French public life, scrutinised under a microscope. The film, which participated in the main competition at the Cannes Film Festival, avoids turning into a classic crime detective story, without losing any of its suspense and tension.

Shot from Case 137, 2025

It’s this delicate precision, matched with fine performances, a compelling storyline, and deeply provocative questions raised about society outside the frame of the film, that elevates Case 137 from a mere trifle to something far more delicious.
