Edmond Vidal, also known as Mormon, grew up in a poor Gypsy camp and carries a sense of responsibility towards his family, with boundless loyalty and pride. In particular, he maintains a friendship with Serge Schutter, who is in prison for theft. The two inevitably become involved in organized crime, with the gang's notoriety in the 60s and 70s stemming from armed robberies. The ever-expanding gang was restrained in the mid-70s. Now, at over 60 years old, Edmond wishes to erase this part of his life and find a place to step away from the business, turning to the wife and children who have suffered because of it. His wife and children deeply respect the man's honesty, universal values, clear-headedness, and infinite kindness. However, with the arrival of Serge Schutter, what kind of ripples will this indelible history create…   Behind the Production   Olivier Marchal is considered the heir to the French gangster films of the 60s and 70s, during the Melville era. His works "36 Quai des Orfèvres" and "MR73" may fall into the general commercial crime genre, but their plots feature a strong sense of realism and fatalism, demonstrating the director's skill. His latest film "Lyon Gang" has just been released in France, aspiring to be the French version of "The Godfather" and "Heat," but it has received mixed reviews. Some viewers find the story told with sincerity, while others argue its style is overly deliberate and lacks cohesion. Olivier Marchal, before becoming a filmmaker, was a police officer, and his first two films tell stories about police, but "Lyon Gang" shifts the focus to their adversaries. "I do not wish to glorify the gangsters; rather, I show that their so-called sacred, inviolable brotherhood is just an illusion. My gangsters either die violently or end up in prison; there are no good outcomes."
