Edmund Vidal, also known as Mormon, who grew up in a poor gypsy camp, maintains a sense of responsibility for his family, infinite loyalty and pride. In particular, he and Serge Schuttle, who was imprisoned for theft, still maintain a friendship. The two inevitably became involved in criminal organizations, and in the 1960s and 1970s, the Gang of Bandits became notorious for armed robbery. The growing gang was contained in the mid-1970s. Today, Edmund, who is in his 60s, wants to erase this life and find a place to withdraw from the business and turn to his wife and children and grandchildren who have suffered as a result of the past, and the wife, children, and grandchildren have great respect for the frankness, universal value, sober mind, and infinite kindness that this man possesses. But with the arrival of Schutter, what ripples will this indelible history set off...
Behind the scenes
Olivier Martial is considered the successor of the French gangster films of the sixties and seventies and the Melville era. Although his "36 Police Station" and "MR73 Revolver" belong to the general category of commercial police bandits, the plot has a strong sense of reality and fatalism, showing the director's skill. His latest work "Lyon Gangster" was recently released in France, and the film has the ambition to become a French version of "Godfather" and "Thief line", but it has received a two-level evaluation. Some viewers think that the story of the film is very sincere, and some people think that its style is too deliberate and not uniform. Olivier Martial himself was a policeman before he was a film, and his first two works were also about the police, but "The Gangsters of Lyon" focuses the camera on their opposites, "I do not want to glorify the gangsters, but rather show that the so-called sacred and inviolable manhood between them is nothing more than an illusion." My gang either died or went to jail, and nothing good ended. ”
Average review score: 7.1
