Polisse (released at some film festivals as Poliss, French pronunciation: [pɔˈlis]) is a 2011 French crime drama film written, directed by and starring Maïwenn. It also stars Joeystarr, Karin Viard, Marina Foïs, Nicolas Duvauchelle, Emmanuelle Bercot and Riccardo Scamarcio. The film centres on the Child Protection Unit (Brigade de Protection des Mineurs) of the Paris Police, and a photographer who is assigned to cover the unit. The title is derived from Maïwenn's son's misspelling of the word "police".
The film won the Jury Prize at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival and in 2012, received thirteen nominations in the 37th César Awards.
