36th Precinct 36 Quai des Orfèvres
American DVD cover
36th Precinct (36 Quai des Orfèvres ) is a 2004 crime film co-written and directed by Olivier Marchal (The Last Deadly Mission ) starring Daniel Auteuil and Gérard Depardieu as two rival police inspectors investigating a string of violent armored car holdups. It was nominated for eight César Awards, but did not win any.
