Short description

Two French policemen, one investigating a grisly murder at a remote mountain college, the other working on the desecration of a young girl's grave by skinheads, are brought together by the clues from their respective cases. Soon after they start working together, more murders are committed, and the pair begin to discover just what dark secrets are behind the killings.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The corpse in the morgue was a prop, made of rubber to resemble the coach who worked with Nadia Fares.
  • During the filming of the scene where Max Kerkerian fights with skinheads, Vincent Cassel suffered a nose injury.
  • Filming took place from October 25, 1999, to March 2000.
  • Filming began on October 25, 1999.
  • In Russia, Jean-Christophe Grangé's novel was published under the title "The Crimson Rivers".
  • Vincent Cassel was very angry about the constant changes being made to the script during filming, and even stated that he had stopped understanding the film's plot. This began his rift with director and screenwriter Mathieu Kassovitz, which ultimately led to a complete breakdown of all relationships – both professional and personal.
