Johnny Depp presents "City of lies" in Deauville

[Translated from the original French using Google Translate.]

Johnny Depp presented Sunday evening at the Deauville festival (west of France) "City of lies" which narrates the investigation into the death of rapper Notorious BIG, a film that was "kidnapped" for several years according to the American actor.

"I am very honored to be invited and we are very proud of this film, kidnapped for three years, because there were people (...) in Hollywood... For three years the film was dead. We found the film," explained the actor in a somewhat hesitant French, in reference to the difficulties of broadcasting the film.

Presented on Sunday for the first time in France, this feature film, produced in 2018, has not found a distributor for a theatrical release.

"City of lies" takes the viewer back to the 1990s and the shot dead of two of the greatest American rappers, Tupac and Notorious BIG, against the backdrop of the musical rivalry between the West Coast and the East Coast of the United States.

Inspector Russell Poole, played by Johnny Depp, plunges back into this case twenty years after the murder after an alcoholic journalist, Forest Whitaker, solicited him.

Mixing fiction and some archival images, the film shows an investigation sloppy by the Los Angeles police, gangrenous by corruption, and infiltrated by gangs including that of powerful rap producer Suge Knight.

The film directed by Brad Furman brings more questions than answers about the circumstances of the murder while the culprits of the two homicides have never been found.

The 47th edition of the Deauville American Film Festival opened on September 3rd. "City of lies" was presented out of competition.
