French production over the past decade has had a persistent obsession with trying to outdo and surpass the output of major American film studios, and technically, it's at least partially succeeding. This film is a typical example of this. It's original, with dynamic camerawork, wild editing, and interesting music. From a cinematic standpoint, it's an engaging film, showcasing inventive special effects sequences, expansive detailed shots, and excellent acting performances. However, the screenplay is weak and illogical. Despite the film's atmospheric and colorful composition, given the aforementioned screenplay, I can't give it four stars. Overall impression: 65%. A typical example of a film where how it's shot is more important than what it's about.

Well, it was terrible bullshit and the final "shocking" surprise was rather funny. But that is not the what that matters here, it’s the how. I was very much entertained by the gratuitous cinematography, and the distorted optics and various effects make Vidocq a bizarre spectacle that is not to be missed. But one time was enough.
