DOBERMAN

France   

Le DobermanHumor, action, and tension blend in this urban western that takes place in the suburbs of Paris, and tells the story of Yann Lepetrec, Le Dobermann, Public Enemy Number 1. He is a modern cowboy with roots in the French tradition of criminals such as Jules Bonnot and Vidocq.

Without ideological motivation, the hero is pure adrenaline, invariably pursuing danger, wherever it might be. He leads a gang of maniacs known for their garish and efficient assaults on banks, in defiance to the capacity of the police.
