The incredible life of Eugène-François Vidocq has inspired a number of films: Vidocq (1911, 1939 and 2001), Scandal in Paris (1946), Le Cavalier de Croix-Mort (1947) and L’Empereur de Paris (2018) ). Vincent Cassel embodies this convict who became an informer and then a private detective in the 19th century, born under the reign of Louis XVI and dying during the Second Empire. Eugène-François Vidocq was sent to prison on several occasions after being convicted in 1796 for “forgery in public and authentic writings”. But he escaped several times over the following years, until he accepted being an informer at the police headquarters. He will also claim more than 16,000 arrests, before finally converting as a private detective.

Passionate about history, Jean-François Richet knew Eugène-François Vidocq well before directing The Emperor of Paris. “He is a man who says no, he analyzes as we can read on Allociné. By taking his destiny in hand, he says no to social determinism. I like that a character is faced with a situation where necessity rules. But action only interests me if it transforms him. Vidocq is on the run, seeks to free himself. Very quickly, the question arises of the price to pay. To obtain his letter of pardon, he undertook to help the police. He realizes that his effectiveness risks locking him into this role. Which is like leaving one prison for another. ”
