"PRAISE OF FALSE SEMBLANT"
• MADE IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE SEVENTH OBSESSION •
“ Federal Police, Los Angeles is not so much a real thriller as a trance film, in which the energies are plural and unfold ad infinitum. It is this mixture that creates the overall electricity, a kind of magma that drags the spectator into its lava. Thomas Aïdan, editorial director of La Septième Obsession
Through six new texts, Éloge du faux-semblant explores different aspects of William Friedkin's film, its place in the cinema of the time, the character of the villain or the representation of Los Angeles and masculinity, to better draw the contours of a one-of-a-kind work. An unpublished work embellished with more than 40 archive photos.
