Xavier Bichon talks to Philippe Triboit who directed the already-cult TV series Spiral (Engrenages) currently screening on SBS TV. This amazing new eight-part thriller combines the great French tradition of the policier with all the excitement of the best US crime series. It avoids sightseeing; a distant glimpse of the Eiffel Tower barely intrudes. Triboit’s cameras keep filming every graphic detail. No wonder detective Fromentin (Fred Bianconi), a novice attendee at such procedures, almost passes out during the autopsy on the murdered girl. By the end of the first episode, you will be hooked! Philippe Triboit explains why Spiral is different from any other TV series.
