Love Crime
(2010)Ruthless executive Christine (Kristen Scott Thomas) takes delight in toying with the innocence of her assistant, Isabelle (Ludivine Sagnier), passing her young protege's ideas on as her own. Confident of her control over Isabelle, Christine leads her into a confusing, perverse game of seduction and domination, but ultimately underestimates Isabelle's ambition and cunning, leading to an all-out boardroom battle with deadly consequences.

A Girl Cut in Two
(2007)In this thriller from master director Claude Chabrol, Francçois Berléand stars as a jaded novelist and a too happily married "ladies man" whose latest conquest is TV weathergirl Gabrielle Deneige (Ludivine Sagnier, who turned heads in SWIMMING POOL). At once naïve and unstoppable, Gabrielle doesn't need to be convinced to enter into a sordid May-September relationship with a celebrated member of the intelligentsia. However, tugging at her other arm with the pull of the entire haute bourgeoisie is young Paul (Benoît Magimel of THE PIANO TEACHER), the cute but dangerously schizophrenic scion of a Lyon pharmaceutical magnate. What's a girl to do? Appropriately, the story takes as its starting point a famous Gilded Age crime of passion, the murder of Madison Square Garden architect and notorious womanizer Stanford White. "Sex, murder, insanity, perversity - a singularly classy and sophisticated drama. It's erotic without showing skin, brutal but never bloody." - NEWSDAY. From IFC Films.

Love Songs
(2007)In spite of emotive bursts into song, this throwback to the 1960s musical is a personal, deeply felt film for its director.

Moliere
(2007)In the tradition of Shakespeare in Love, Moliere invents a fanciful yarn based on speculative historical fiction taken from a piece of real life -- in this case, the mysterious disappearance of the French playwright for several months in 1644 -- and concocts a thoroughly irresistible and lavish story of intrigue, romance, comedy and artistic inspiration. As Moliere, the magnetic Romain Duris displays all of his usual seductive intensity, but also pulls off goofy Gallic charm. There's something of a modern rock star to him, almost a cousin to Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow. In addition there's a superb cast of actors, and visually viewers are taken on a sumptuous, wild ride through Versailles-era France. This absorbing romp has an infectious sense of fun that lingers well after the curtain falls.
