    JOYA. Está película es espectacular en todos los aspectos posibles, la fotografía es excelente, las actuaciones están muy bien pero sin duda lo mejor es el guion, como nos transporta a los suburbios de Paris desde las perspectiva de estos tres amigos, los cuales tienen una muy buena química. Todos los temas que aborda esta película están muy bien llevados no solo mostrándonos la violencia y el odio de forma visual y directa sino también de una manera más sutil en…
