The Crime Is Mine
Director: François Ozon
Starring: Nadia Tereszkiewicz, Rebecca Marder, Isabelle Huppert
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, Rosalie) and her best friend Pauline (Rebecca Marder, A Radiant Girl), 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.
