Fresh out of basic training in the French Army, Leo lands his first assignment: a surveillance operation that sees him roaming the streets of Paris with nothing to do but remain alert for potential threats. Given the task of securing the borders of a massive anti-government demonstration, Leo finds himself plunged into the heart of a raging crowd. All the pressure and impotent fury that has built up over weeks is about to explode…
CINEMANIA's opinion:
Presented as a world premiere this year at the prestigious 77th edition of the Venice Mostra, THE THIRD WAR pays close attention to the soldiers engaged in the invisible fight against terrorism. The cinematographer Giovanni Aloi describes a Paris that is a far cry from the cliché post card, a city perpetually in a state of emergency since the attacks at Charlie Hebdo and the Bataclan. A suspicious package, a bag left on the ground; Nothing can be neglected in this intense quest where the powers of the military are very distinct from those of the police. A captivating and methodic film focused on a great trio of actors; Anthony Bajon (THE PRAYER), Karim Leklou (THE WORLD IS YOURS), and Leïla Bekhti (SINK OR SWIM).
