The title of the French procedural series, “Mongeville,” is not the name of its town. That’s Bordeaux. Rather, it refers to retired judge Antoine Mongeville (Francis Perrin), who for one reason or another winds up unofficially assisting the local homicide bureau in each week’s murder.

Acclaimed french actor Gérard Depardieu is fully embracing his bad boy tabloid image in Abel Ferrara's "Welcome to New York."

IFC Films has released a new trailer for the drama that teases all of the dark debauchery Depardieu's character has in store for audiences. "Welcome to New York" will be released theatrically and On Demand on March 27 after being cut down from its 125 minute runtime.
