For a Fistful of Fries
Directed by Yves Hinant, Jean Libon
Produced by The Bureau Sales
A darkly comedic documentary that finds humor and humanity in the mundane details of a murder investigation, balancing procedural tension with genuine affection for its investigators.
For several days, a team of police officers (backed by Judge Anne Gruwez, the revelation from their previous So Help Me God) sift through the evidence in a murder case that’s tougher than it appears. Jean Libon and Yves Hinant lead a police investigation unlike anything you’ve ever seen. With every banal turn of events, camaraderie and professionalism go hand in hand as humour meets tragedy and a handful of fries, a Tupperware container and St. Rita heighten the suspense. Hilariously scathing, yet filled with tenderness.
