Canal Plus Unmasks France’s Belle Epoque in the Studiocanal-Sold ‘Paris Police 1900’
Canal Plus Création Originale “Paris Police 1900” offers a different take to painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir.The past, moreover, is no foreign country. In its bracing violence, gritty street settings, scenes of torrid racism – courtesy of France’s real-life Anti-Semitic League, and multiple iterations of gender abuse – the period serial killer thriller delivers a vision of Belle Epoque Noir which reverberates down to the modern day.Created and written by France’s Fabien Nury, a celebrated graphic novelist (“I Am Legion,” “Il était une fois en France”) the eight-part series offers a candid take on a tumultuous time.
