A film by François Ozon (8 Women, Potiche, In the House and Swimming Pool).
Adapted from a 1934 play by Georges Berr and Louis Verneuil and featuring a murderer’s row of a supporting cast, including Academy Award nominated actress Isabelle Huppert, Dany Boon and Fabrice Luchini, THE CRIME IS MINE is a rollicking farce and scabrous satire with a wily feminist edge from one of French cinema’s most chameleonic stylists, François Ozon.
Paris in the 1930s — a playground for industrial heirs and debonair architects, but the City of Lights does not shine evenly for all. Struggling actress Madeleine (Nadia Terezkiewicz) and her best friend Pauline (Rebecca Marder), an unemployed lawyer, live in a cramped flat and owe five months’ rent. Opportunity knocks after a lascivious theatrical producer who made an inappropriate advance towards Madeleine turns up dead. Madeleine stands trial for murder and ascends to decadent stardom, with Pauline serving as defence counsel and media circus ringmaster. A new life of fame, wealth and tabloid celebrity awaits — until the truth comes out
