This is his second feature film as director, with a masterful cast including Bruce Willis and Alec Baldwin. The scenario is that of a detective film, but with a political background. Dark alleys in 1950's New York, a man with his raincoat and hat, and a plot.

Edward Norton realizes and embodies this inspector with Tourette syndrome, who will investigate the murder of his mentor, Franck Minna, Bruce Willis in the film. But what adds even more interest is that the investigation takes place in a New York undergoing an architectural change, when rogue promoters push the little people to the gates of the city to give way to the buildings of today.
"At home, you can see it through the yellow vests"
This is still a current practice, explains Edward Norton at the microphone in Europe 1. "Yes, it is still the case, but not in New York, in Paris, everywhere Where there is a history, a cultural heritage and a diversity of population, the problem arises: it arose at the time and it still arises today, "says the actor. "We're living in an interesting era, and you see it through yellow jackets, saying, 'Hey, we have to be heard and not excluded from this rich heritage and prosperity today.' It's not important that the city is romantic or not, because they feel excluded, it creates friction. "
Brooklyn Affairs is already compared to the virtuoso LA Confidential . It is a black thriller, panting, with a real societal dimension. And especially a brilliant interpretation of Edward Norton, who had this project in mind for almost ten years.
