Synopsis
Dog 51 (Chien 51, 2025) is a French-Belgian sci-fi thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Cédric Jimenez. The film is set in Paris in 2045, a city carved into three zones by class, where a predictive AI called ALMA has taken over policing — flagging crimes before they happen and keeping every zone in line. Adèle Exarchopoulos and Gilles Lellouche lead the cast.
When ALMA's creator is killed, two detectives who operate on opposite sides of the city's social divide are forced to partner up: Salia, a sharp-edged investigator from Zone Two, and Zem, a cynical cop from Zone Three. Their case starts as a murder inquiry and turns into something that runs straight through the foundations of the system they both answer to. Louis Garrel and Romain Duris also appear, and the score comes from Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk.
Jimenez has handled noir cityscapes before, and here he applies the same pressure to a near-future Paris that feels plausible rather than spectacle-heavy. Stream Dog 51 (2025) online on iFILM.
