    Storyline

    Edit
    Mikael is doctor on night call. It's a vocation. Between two patient-visits in slum areas, he cares for those whom no one else wants to see: the drug addicts, the homeless - He rubs shoulders with destitution. His life is in shambles. Especially when it comes to his pharmacist cousin who makes him write false prescriptions for Subutex. Overnight, he decides to get out of drug trafficking and rebuild his life. But there will be a heavy price to pay. —Canon y mus

    Simply powerful
    Vincent Macaigne gives here one, if not, of his best performances ever. So realistic and dark, gloomy and entertaining, where characters seem so real. French movie style at its damn peak. Acting at the top, so the directing and screenplay too. Film noir? Hmmm, at least a noir drama, but there is no criminal element here, nor real. A few years ago, there was MEDECIN DE CAMPAGNE, starring François Cluzet, it was far less downbeat but not less interesting. The settings were not the same and so the characters. It could have been a kind of TAXI DRIVER but on the night doctor fashion instead of cab. It explores the routine burden of a physician, as it also could be for a beat cop, a fireman, with of course the unavoidable Paris by night atmosphere. Please don't miss it.
