Boring
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
This french TV movie takes place in Belleville, the Chinese district in Paris - actually not the main one, but a place where a very important community from Asia lives - and tells us the story of a petty hoodlum, a french one, who is involved with a mysterious Chinese man in search of a young woman. And this fellow asks our lead to help him to purchase the gal. This is a classic tale, with a good description of the underworld in Belleville, good dialogues, sensitive and convincing characters. Some violence and brutality too. Also some romance, of course. No length or boredom in this TV film. Pure french stuff. Not bad.
