THE CRIME IS MINE (2023) ¢ ¢ ¢
D: François Ozon
Nadia Tereszkiewicz, Rebecca Marder, Isabelle Huppert,
Fabric Luchini, Dany Boon, André Dussollier
When a starving actress is accused of murder, her flatmate, an equally hungry lawyer, defends her in court. Which is just the beginning of this screwball comedy, a period social satire with a distinctly feminist edge. It can't quite sustain the pace it starts out with, but the actors pull you along. If you aren't completely fluent in French, be ready to read subtitles real fast.
