2005’s bit of blood-and-thunder, Sheitan, revealed Kim Chapiron to be an atypical filmmaker. In 2009, Dog Pound made him a director to watch out for. La Crème de la crème, even if it doesn’t make him accomplished, proves he has a spot among the new generation of French filmmakers. Sharp, in sync with his time, directed against a devious system without resorting to cheap provocation, the film also benefits from the disturbing Alice Isaaz, who is inhabited with a spirit similar to that of Adèle Exarchopoulos (La Vie d'Adele). In the midst of an uneven film, which alternates ridiculous moments with bursts of good staging, she shines.
