Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector Maïwenn's first idea for the title was "Police", but another film already had this name: none other than famous French director Maurice Pialat's film in 1985. Her next idea was, "Vous êtes de la police?", but it too was already a film title. One day, as her young child was learning to write, he misspelled "Police", and she saw in front of her eyes the perfect title considering the subject of her movie, with a child's writing: "Polisse".

Featured review
Interesting, realistic, very good film
I had no idea that this film had many nominations at last year's César awards (the french Oscars). I started to see it on cable and immediately got interested in the subject and the way they handle it. It's straight forward but subtle at the same time. It has a good moving pace, there's always something going on. The array of characters is very rich and even though there's no time to get more deeply into their private worlds, you get to understand that they are mere human beings doing their best at their job, which is trying to protect all "minors" from abusive situations. I specially liked the realism of the characters, you end up caring for most of them and wishing them well in their actions.
