Trivia
Director Maïwenn's first idea for the title was "Police", but another film already had this name: none other than famous French director Maurice Pialat's film in 1985. Her next idea was, "Vous êtes de la police?", but it too was already a film title. One day, as her young child was learning to write, he misspelled "Police", and she saw in front of her eyes the perfect title considering the subject of her movie, with a child's writing: "Polisse".

Wish I Understood French

Couldn't say it any better then the Two comments before me; but had to write this anyway.

The Subject matter in film would make a lot of people I know feel very uneasy; I'm not used to seeing this kind of dialog in most movies I watch. Definitely a Creepy Subject.

The 'fast pace' of the film reminded me a bit of: "HILL STREET BLUES", one of the first 'Cop Shows' on TV, with this kind of Fast Pace.

Not understanding French, feel that I wasn't getting ALL that was being said, but got enough.

Some People will NOT watch films with Sub Titles; their loss. If you're One of Them- maybe you should start.

Lastly: One scene had me laughing out loud; was the Only Real 'funny' scene, in this Serious film about a serious subject; but isn't Life Just like that???
