The French Connection

Director
William Friedkin
Certificate
18
Running Time
104 mins

William Friedkin’s key 70s crime thriller, shot documentary-style in the very locations where its real events unfolded. Features that legendary chase sequence and a career-making performance by Gene Hackman. Incidentally, if you can figure out why the Time Out Film Guide continues to sneer at this one, do let us know.

It’s back on screen in the Everyman’s late night season.
