  • Synopsis

    Isabelle works under Christine. They think alike. They are quite different. They might be lovers. But Christine takes credit for Isabelle's brilliant ideas. A struggle ensues between these two attractive and powerful women, the two top executives in the French office of an American multinational. Christine has the upper hand and no mercy. Humiliated and nearly destroyed, Isabelle begins to plot her revenge. Imaginative and thorough, calculating and exact, Isabelle makes an outstanding murderer. Every strange, seemingly haphasard thing she does - including a sudden drug dependence and wandering aimless in the rain - is part of her plan to kill. And get away with it.

  • Press

    "...a sort of Gallic DAMAGES with Kristin Scott Thomas and Ludivine Sagnier in the Glenn Close and Rose Byrne roles."
    "Alain Corneau delivers a solid, classical thriller     (with the taut, sinister psycho-procedural Love Crime)"
    "A cleverly designed whodunit"
    "Jazz great Pharoah Sander's score gives the action an unpredictable and hallucinatory quality"
