'La Dentellière (The Lacemaker)' was a very good character study, with Isabelle Huppert outstanding in an early role, and I've a lot of time for 'La Mort de Mario Ricci' too.

More of local note but it's a big one -- San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi. Since I only relatively recently moved here others should say more but my sense is that he and his team really have held their own in holding the feet of the police to the fire in terms of real and potential abuses, and did so over the course of most of two decades; as such, a role model for the nation, if lucky enough to take advantage of being an elected rather than an appointed official. He was only just recently reelected -- unopposed at that -- and so that's another long term with his direct action now robbed, though hopefully his successors will carry on the legacy.
https://m.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Public-Defender-Jeff-Adachi-dies-13638785.php
Also of note -- he was a filmmaker as well, and directed two documentaries on Asian Americans and acting -- The Slanted Screen and You Don't Know Jack (re Jack Soo) -- as well as codirecting a more recent film on criminal justice, Defender.

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 23 February 2019 17:34 (five years ago) link
Coverage of the San Francisco Police Department’s “Textgate” scandal — a cadre of officers nabbed exchanging horrifically racist messages — often overlook that these messages were only unearthed because of successful federal corruption probe of the police department. And that probe only came to pass because Adachi posted videos onto YouTube of cops barging into residential hotels sans warrants or consent like some manner of Stasi.
