6Laura Morante, Riccardo Scamarcio, Michele Placido"Exciting, romantic autobiographical story of a cop come actor, who infiltrates the student protest groups in Rome, during the height of the 1968 demonstrations. A young policeman and would-be actor, played marvelously by Riccardo Scamarcio, is sent undercover to infiltrate student protest groups in 1968, during the height of the political demonstrations in Rome. The Big Dream then plots the trials and tribulations of all of the young people as they strive to make a difference, escape from the shackles of their traditional family backgrounds and enter a new, permissive world. In fact, The Big Dream is a panoramic, romantic and entrancing portrait of a seminal era in European history. It is also heavily autobiographical, as its director Michele Placido was himself an undercover cop-cum-aspiring actor in 1968. Following on from his highly acclaimed crime thriller Romanzo Criminale, The Big Dream has an epic sweep and seductive tone that conjures the optimism, idealism and also harsh reality of those bygone days, without falling into the trap of being either overly nostalgic or sentimental. The Big Dream is one of the key movies in this year's crop of Italian cinema, from an assured filmmaker at the top of his game." Quoting Adrian Wootton- 7

Alba Rohrwacher, Louis Garrel, Riccardo ScamarcioDiarchy is a 2010 short film written and directed by Ferdinando Cito Filomarino.

8Anny Duperey, Ulrich Tukur, Riccardo ScamarcioEden Is West is a 2009 film by Greek-French director Costa-Gavras about an illegal immigrant called Elias who tries to get to Paris. The original title in Greek is “Paradissos sti Dysi” and since it is a Greek-French production, the also original French title is “Eden à l'ouest'. The nationality of the central hero is not disclosed because Gavras wants to make a point about the odysseys of the illegal immigrants of any nationality, since he himself was an immigrant 50 years ago in France, before he became a well known director. His hero seems to tolerate the sea, the cold of snowy mountains and the hunger, the rapists and robbers he meets, the cops that are after him all the time, the racists who push him aside, the fellow immigrants who steal his clothes and in the best case the women who see him as a lover they could also take advantage of. His only comfort is his dream of Paris and, in the complexity of human condition, the good within the evil and vice versa.
9Lou Doillon, Emmanuelle Bercot, Marina FoisPoliss is a 2011 drama film written by Emmanuelle Bercot and directed by Maïwenn Le Besco. "The daily grind for the cops of the Police Department's Juvenile Protection Unit - taking in child molesters, busting underage pickpockets and chewing over relationship issues at lunch; interrogating abusive parents, taking statements from children, confronting the excesses of teen sexuality, enjoying solidarity with colleagues and laughing uncontrollably at the most unthinkable moments. Knowing the worst exists and living with it. How do these cops balance their private lives and the reality they confront every working day? Fred, the group's hypersensitive wild card, is going to have a hard time facing the scrutiny of Melissa, a photographer on a Ministry of the Interior assignment to document the unit." Quoting the synopsis from the 2011 Cannes Film Festival site.
