Movie #1035 "Love Crime" is a French film that I just found out was remade by Brian De Palma with Rachel McAdams and the woman in the Swedish film "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" so I'm interested to see that one very soon because I would like to see the differences. I enjoyed the French film part of it --- i.e., the noir style, the deceptions (with affairs, etc.), the revenge, the rug pulled out from under us toward the end......it's all here, along with very capable actresses, one being Kristin Scott Thomas --- I always enjoy seeing her speaking French or English. The pacing here was a little slow (so because of the late hour, I had a tough time sticking with the subtitling) but by the end, I felt it well worth the wait. I recommend this for a good solid mystery --- if you'd rather not watch the subtitles, look in the next couple of days for the remake blog and see what you think.

French director Alain Corneau delivers a chilling tale of two ambitious women -- a senior executive and her eager young assistant -- whose professional appetites grow dangerously personal as they jockey for power.
