Jean Dujardin and Cédric Jimenez, the star and director of French Paris terror attack film Novembre, have said they did not want to portray the police who caught the attackers as “heroes” but were aiming for an uber-realistic representation of a “deeply secret” department.
Speaking at a Cannes press conference the day after Novembre’s premiere, Jimenez said his mission was to show how the anti-terrorist unit experienced five “awful days” during which officers were tasked with a “huge responsibility.”
“The idea was not to turn them into heroes,” he added, flanked by cast and crew. “Even though the situation was resolved, there are only losers: the many people who died, the witnesses who are upset forever, the police officers who resigned because it was such a terrible hardship. In this kind of event, there are no winners.”
Dujardin, who also led Jimenez’s 2014 pic The Connection, concurred with his director and said his aim portraying lead Fred was to “focus on the event as we were plunged totally into the situation.”
“We didn’t have time to work on their psychology, we were working as a group and you really sense that in the film,” he explained. “These people aren’t heroes but what they did was a heroic act. It’s like a pyramid, the whole group is heroic.”
Also starring Sandrine Kiberlain as Héloise and The French Dispatch breakout Lyna Khoudri, Novembre charts the five days after the devastating November 2015 attacks on the Bataclan concert venue and other places in Paris, which left more than 100 people dead. Five days on, the suspected lead operative Abdelhamid Abaaoud was killed in a police raid along with two others.
Portraying the events realistically was of paramount importance and Dujardin said police consultants and

Understandably, the terrorist attacks in Paris on the night of November 13, 2015 have been treated with great sensitivity by the French film industry, and the only other film in the Cannes Film Festival’s lineup this year to touch on those events — Alice Winocour’s Paris Revoir — is a lightly fictionalized drama set in the aftermath of the night 130 people were killed, most of them at a rock concert at the city’s Bataclan nightclub. Though many names have been changed, for obvious security reasons, Cedric Jimenez’s Novembre is, by contrast, a heavy-artillery just-the-facts-ma’am police procedural detailing the manhunt that followed in the next five days.
Guy Lodge Film CriticIt’s over six years since the November 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris that ruptured the country’s national consciousness and political agenda, but the events are only gaining currency for European filmmakers. This year’s Berlin festival brought us Isaki Lacesta’s “One Year, One Night,” an impressionistic reflection on survivor’s guilt in the long-term wake of the Bataclan nightclub massacre; at Cannes this year, Cedric Jimenez’s thriller “November” takes a more procedural approach to the aftermath.
