Drama-Comedy-Crime, French, 1 hour 42 minutes

Director: François Ozon

Paris in the 1930s – 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 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 defense counsel and media circus ringmaster. A new life of fame, wealth, and tabloid celebrity awaits — until the truth comes out.

“Ozon proves once again that he’s a master of sophisticated comedy laced with irony and drama. This is one of his most engaging films.”  — The Australian

“Moves at a breakneck pace, never stopping to take itself seriously, even though what it says about male and female roles, fame and wealth is pretty spot on.” — Boulder Weekly
