One of the best of the year (so far)
Le Petit Lieutenant makes Eastern Promises look like the mediocre knock off it is. “Eastern…” has nothing substantial to offer beyond a couple of signature scenes and is ultimately forgettable after the echo of its posturing and violence subside (can’t really understand why the critics adore Cronenberg so much), and it is no more evident than when I compare his film to another that works so much better, like Le Petit Lieutenant (an 8 1/2 out of 10)

Both are dramas that operate fully within the “crime genre,” but whereas there is very little that is original or compelling beyond the dramatic pretense of Eastern Promises, the French film is rich with characterizations and direction that lend depth to its realistic story. Whereas “Eastern…” creates slick, hip Hollywood scenes that tease and gratify our primal senses without really engaging any of its real dilemmas, “Petit…” draws us in (via a casual documentary like style) to the life of a young detective just out of cadet school who is becoming familiar with his co-workers and line of work on the streets of Paris. It is through him and his interactions with everything around him that we begin to experience something more dramatic, almost without realizing it, until the tragedy of common (rather than postured) occurrence invades our psyche, and plays out amidst a suspense created by the tension of anxiety, anguish, and inner strength of his chief inspector (a woman), portrayed with great humanity by Nathalie Baye.

Like all Hollywood movies, Eastern Promises offers the semblance of real drama at the beginning, only to abandon its stories and characters as it lapses into the improbability and titillation we have all grown accustomed to at the cinema. The french film, on the other hand, demonstrates its concern for the people it has given life to by engaging our own humanity rather than our anticipation of the next thrill that lies around the corner….

Competent French crime story, but Nathalie Baye is not Helen Mirren
A rookie detective discovers a world of woe chasing seriously dangerous immigrant Russian thugs in Paris and Nice in this competent French crime drama. His boss is a veteran female police commander making a comeback of sorts after alcoholism had blown her off course for a while. For her performance here as Commandant Caroline “Caro” Vaudieu, Nathalie Baye won her second César Award as Best Actress of 2006 (her first was in 1983 for “La Balance”); at 58, she is a veteran of roles in more than 75 films, and her turn here is very good, if not entirely convincing.

By pure coincidence, later, on the same day I saw this film, I watched the last episode of “The Final Act” on PBS’s Masterpiece Theater. This presentation, purportedly the last production in the “Prime Suspect” series, starring Helen Mirren as Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison of New Scotland Yard, offers useful comparisons with the French film. “Prime Suspect,” of course, set the gold standard for contemporary narrative crime films and has had a splendid 14 year run from 1992 to this past weekend.

The parallels between the protagonists in “Petit Lieutenant” and “Final Act” are extraordinary. Both chief detectives are older women who have suffered through grief, loss and the ravages of the bottle. Both have obvious streaks of vulnerability. And both have something important left to prove: each needs to redeem herself in police work after previous humiliating periods of compromised functioning.

What stands out most in the comparisons is that Mirren’s DCI Tennison is tougher than she is vulnerable. She sustains the respect of the men on the force because she can be as brassy and authoritarian as the best of them. And they respect this, never questioning her orders. Miss Baye’s Commandant Vaudieu, on the other hand, has a more impassive, retiring personality. And thus her character is less believable than Mirren’s, less likely to have risen in the ranks to the very top of a demanding and decidedly tough, not to mention misogynistic, profession. Several actors on Vaudieu’s police team are splendid, including Jalil Lespert (the rookie cop, Antoine), Roschdy Zem (Solo) and Antoine Chappey (Louis). (In French, Russian & Polish) My grades: 8/10, B+ (Seen on 11/25/06)
