English title: Razzia
A man known as "Le Nantais" (which means someone from the French city of Nantes), who had been working in the U.S. in the drug business, is called back to France as some sort of CEO for the drug dealing operation in Paris, with the mission of increasing profits. They set him a front business as a bar owner.
The amazing cinematography and the amazing production design are possibly the high points of this French policier. The film has lots of ambiance, being overall sufficiently entertaining. There is a certain amount of hypocrisy in its concept, which exploits the attraction toward sordid environments that it ostensibly condemns, but I think this is no big news for anyone who has watched a film or two. Also, more than 50 years after its release, the state of the world in regard to drugs places its proposition in a somewhat dubious light.
