For several days, a team of police officers (backed by Judge Anne Gruwez, the revelation from their previous So Help Me God) sift through the evidence in a murder case that’s tougher than it appears. Jean Libon and Yves Hinant lead a police investigation unlike anything you’ve ever seen. With every banal turn of events, camaraderie and professionalism go hand in hand as humour meets tragedy and a handful of fries, a Tupperware container and St. Rita heighten the suspense. Hilariously scathing, yet filled with tenderness.
🤖 AI Film Analyst Insight
"Jean Libon and Jean-Michel Lemoine return to the bizarre bureaucratic landscape of Belgium, foregrounding the magnetic, yet highly niche, personality of magistrate Anne Gruwez. 'For a Fistful of Fries' employs a rigorous, vérité style, documenting the often absurd and darkly comic intersections of daily life and state justice. The film excels in capturing the banality surrounding serious legal matters, finding humor in procedural tedium and Gruwez’s deadpan eccentricity. However, the reliance on Gruwez’s charisma is both its greatest asset and primary limitation; the deliberately aimless structure, while stylistically consistent, often sacrifices momentum for repetitive observation. While a fascinating character study and a strong exercise in minimalist documentary, it offers little thematic expansion beyond its predecessor, appealing strongly only to those invested in this specific brand of dry, European institutional satire."
