Edmund Vidal, also known as Mormon, who grew up in a poor Gypsy camp, retains a sense of responsibility towards his family, with boundless loyalty and pride. In particular, he still maintained a friendship with Serge Shutel, who was imprisoned for theft. The two were inevitably drawn into a criminal organization. In the 1960s and 1970s, the Ang Gang was notorious for armed robbery. The growing gang of bandits was contained in the mid-1970s. Today, Edmund, who is over 60 years old, wants to erase this period of his life, find a place to withdraw from business, and turn to his wife and children and grandchildren who have suffered because of it in the past. His wife, children and grandchildren deeply respect the man's candor, universal values, clear mind and boundless kindness. But with the arrival of Serge Shutel, what ripples will this indelible history stir up... Olivier Martial, the behind-the-scenes producer, is regarded as the successor of the French gangster films of the Melville era in the 1960s and 1970s. Although his "36 Police Station" and "MR73 Revolter" fall within the general category of commercial police and gangster works, their plots have a strong sense of reality and destiny, demonstrating the director's prowess. His latest work, "Lyon Gangsters", was recently released in France. The film has the ambition to become a French version of "The Godfather" and "The Wire", but it has received rather polarized reviews. Some viewers think that the story of the film is told very sincerely, while others are concerned that its style is too deliberate and not consistent enough. Olivier Martial was a police officer before he entered the film industry, and his first two works were both about the police. However, "Lyon" focuses on their opposite side. "I don't want to glorify the gangs. On the contrary, it shows that the so-called sacred and inviolable manly friendship between them is just an illusion." My gang either died a violent death or ended up in prison. There was no good ending for them.[Collapse]
