SK1

SK1 (L'Affaire SK1, 2015) is a French crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. Paris in the early 1990s. A young detective, Franck Magne, joins the criminal investigation unit at 36 Quai des Orfèvres, and his very first case is the murder of a young woman. Cross-checking dusty files, he spots what his superiors refuse to: a single hand behind a string of killings nobody has connected.

For eight years he won't let the case go — short on manpower, short on money, and short on colleagues who even believe the killer is real. Raphaël Personnaz plays an investigator slowly hollowed out by the work. The film runs a second thread through the eventual trial and the victims' lawyer, letting the two timelines drift toward each other until they meet.

Director Frédéric Tellier reconstructs the manhunt for Guy Georges — the man the press dubbed "the Beast of the Bastille" — from court records and the real detectives' accounts. Its cold, procedural tone matters more than any chase: this is a film about patience, red tape, and what obsession costs. A solid pick for fans of fact-based European crime told without gloss.
