Paris Is Burning

That Luc Besson produced action flic that had foreshadowed the Paris riots will be coming to American theaters in June. In 2004 Luc Besson of 'Femme Nikita'-'Fifth Element'-'Transporter' fame produced the film Banlieue 13, which told the story of gangs in a future, when the French government has erected walls between the ghetto projects and the communities of the affluent and rich. Not exactly French social critique, but surely a perfect summer flic.
