Paris in the 1930s — a playground for industrial heirs and debonair architects, but the City of Lights does not shine evenly for all. Madeleine is a struggling actress. Her best friend Pauline is an unemployed lawyer. They share a cramped flat and owe five months’ rent. Opportunity knocks, however, after a lascivious theatrical producer turns up dead and Madeleine is accused of murder.

Acclaimed French filmmaker Francois Ozon has a rich back catalogue. The Crime is Mine is a rollicking farce with a wily feminist edge, clearly inspired by Hollywood’s Golden Age.

Adapted from a 1934 play by Georges Berr and Louis Verneuil. Nadia Terezkiewicz and Rebecca Marder star — a murder’s row of a supporting cast includes Isabelle Huppert, Dany Boon, and Fabrice Luchini.

France | 2023 | 102 minutes

The Crime is Mine opened on Christmas Day and received enthusiastic reviews, including this from the New York Times:

The Crime is Mine” is the epitome of a comfort film, decked out in old-Hollywood nostalgia and unfolding at an auctioneer’s clip. Its fun and games are deceptively smart — all the more because the women know their angles so triumphantly well. CRITIC’S PICK!
