In French and English
A gang of small-time criminals in a working-class French suburb stage a daring heist against a mysterious foreign tycoon and pay the consequences in the latest and possibly greatest feature from under-sung French-Algerian master Rabah Ameur-Zaïmeche. With a plot as taut—and thrilling—as the best of Jean-Pierre Melville, The Temple Woods Gang ranges wide thematically, offering both a nuanced vision of the banlieue and an incisive analysis of contemporary class relations and the circulation of global capital. But perhaps the film’s most affecting aspect is its representation of community and the deep ties that cement it.
