Marseille, 1975. A stylish, '70s-period crime thriller inspired by true events, The Connection tells the story of real-life Marseille magistrate Pierre Michel (Academy Award® Winner Jean Dujardin, The Artist, The Wolf Of Wall Street) and his relentless crusade to dismantle the most notorious drug smuggling operation in history: the French Connection.

In his crosshairs is charismatic and wealthy kingpin, Gatean “Tany” Zampa (Gilles Lellouche, Point Blank, Mesrine: Killer Instinct), who runs the largest underground heroin trade into the States. Though the fearless and tenacious Michel, aided by a task force of elite cops, will stop at nothing — including boldly orchestrated drug raids, devastating arrests, and exacting interrogations — to ensure the crime ring's demise, Zampa's "La French" always seems one step ahead. As La French mounts its retaliation, Michel will be forced to make the most difficult decision of his life: to continue waging his war, or ensure his family's safety, before it's too late.

The European flipside to William Friedkin’s The French Connection, Cédric Jimenez’s The Connection was shot entirely on 35mm.

Housed in a clamshell case. Artwork and Layout by Jay Shaw.

Ruby ★★★★★

The period details in this film are incredible—the cars, the clothes, everything feels authentically 1970s Marseille. Dujardin is magnetic as the magistrate, and the crime story kept me guessing until the end. Definitely a hidden gem for thriller fans.

Alexander ★★★★★

Jean Dujardin brings such intensity to this role, you can feel the heat of 1970s Marseille through the screen. The period details in the cinematography really pull you into that gritty world.

Jacob G. ★★★★★

I put this in the VCR with zero expectations and ended up totally absorbed in the period details, from the cars to the way the streets look. Jean Dujardin really carries the whole thing as the magistrate, and the true-story angle makes it hit harder than a typical crime film.
