THE CRIME IS MINE

Two penniless young Parisian women are determined to make their way in the narrow French society of the 1930s. Madeleine, an untalented actress, is accused of the murder of a famous film producer. Her roommate Pauline, a lawyer with no clients, takes on her defense in a high-profile trial. A new life of fame and success begins, until the truth comes out…

Fançois Ozon’s screwball comedy is bubbling with a delectable vintage Hollywood feel, combining slapstick humor and lively dialogue. And behind all the laughter, Ozon discreetly and skillfully reveals a feminist manifesto that hits the nail on the head, pointing out the condition of women, misogyny, patriarchy and the problems of justice.
