Their precinct captain (Jeanne Balibar) sends mixed messages, telling Stéphane that Chris is something of a cowboy in the streets-but that she tolerates no “inappropriate behavior.”
Stéphane is white he’s assigned to a patrol alongside a black officer named Gwada (Djibril Zonga) and led by another officer, Chris (Alexis Manenti), who’s also white. Damien Bonnard plays Stéphane, a police officer newly transferred from the provinces of France to a suburb of Paris called Montfermeil, which is home to many people of color, largely of African (both North African and sub-Saharan African) descent.
There’s a canny point of view built into Ladj Ly’s first feature, “ Les Misérables,” which opened in New York last Friday (and is one of the five Oscar nominees for Best International Feature).
