'November: Remembering the 2015 Paris attacks'

There have been nuanced treatments of the November 2015 Paris attacks, including the docuseries November 3: Attack on Paris (2018), the excellent En thérapie (2021), which deals with post-traumatic stress in a counterterrorist agent who is also a Muslim, and Mikhaël Hers’ sublime human drama Amanda (2018) which looks at the aftermath of terrorism in an understated fashion. November, directed by Cédric Jimenez (Paris Under Watch, 2012; BAC Nord, 2020) is not to be counted among these. However, the shift from the attacks themselves to the ensuing investigation (and from the victims to the police response) does offer an interesting cinematic perspective.
