Love Crime

“Ambition. Manipulation. Revenge.”

Isabelle Guérin (Ludivine Sagnier), a rising young executive at a multinational, works under Christine Rivière (Kristin Scott Thomas), a boss who is polished, demanding and in no hurry to share credit. The two start out as close allies, then slide into a quiet fight over who will come out on top. Alain Corneau, in his last film, keeps the offices sterile and the mood tight, letting the dread build slowly.
