The French film industry has not, over the years, provided so many films speaking of prison topics. There was of course LE TROU, back in 1959, and more recently UN PROPHETE, but this one: ZONZON, is a pretty underrated and unknown movie, excellent, gritty, bleak, harsh, splendidly acted with a Pascal Greggory's performance that is jawdropping, incredible but certainly not unbelievable, on the contrary. Powerful characters analysis, depiction, a realistic picture of inmates daily life, as if you were yourself in the can. Poignant, engrossing, this movie is really a little gem that deserves one million times to be discovered.
