Welcome to a very special episode of my podcast — one that’s close to my heart. In this episode, we take a deep, personal dive into the world of French polar — those dark, moody crime films that blend existential tension with gritty police drama and unforgettable characters.

But this isn’t just a lesson in vocabulary or film history. Today, I’m joined by someone very special: mon papa.

My father is a true cinéphile, a lifelong lover of le polar français. Together, we explore the directors who shaped his cinematic world. We revisit his all-time favorite films like Le Cercle Rouge, Le Deuxième Souffle — stories of quiet criminals, doomed friendships, and smoky streets at midnight.

This episode is a deeply personal conversation about how cinema becomes a language of its own between generations. It’s about storytelling, memory, and how sharing a film can mean sharing a piece of yourself.

So sit back, tune in, and let us take you through the rain-soaked alleys of French noir, guided by a father’s passion — and his child’s curiosity.
