This article talks, among other things, about the character selection which the director undertook in order to mold the story into an interesting and subversive narrative about the criminal justice system in France at the time. He made an effort not to chose people who committed similar crimes, e.g. not too many thieves. Additionally, he decided to not portray any drug dealer as he believed they matched too closely with the perception that the general public already had of them. Finally, he chose characters, who bucked convention. One example is the tagger, who unusual because of his background. The tagger came from an educated family, with his father being a modern bourgeois. What this article really shows is that it is crucial to the narrative of the story that the character is just right. This means that they are unique enough to their own sense of depth to the storyline.
