Cork Cine Club presents THE CRIME IS MINE [France]

Tickets go on sale Sunday 15 September at 8:00am.

Paris in the 1930s is a playground for industrial heirs and debonair architects, but the City of Lights does not shine on all. Struggling actress Madeleine and her best friend Pauline, an unemployed lawyer, live in a cramped flat and owe five months rent. Opportunity knocks after a lascivious 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 defence counsel and media circus ringmaster. A new life of fame, wealth, and tabloid celebrity awaits — until the truth comes out.

Adapted from a 1934 play and featuring a supporting cast including Isabelle Huppert, Dany Boon, and Fabrice Luchini, The Crime Is Mine is a rollicking farce and scabrous satire with a wily feminist edge from one of French cinema’s most chameleonic stylists, François Ozon.

Ozon, as ever, is not just having fun. He is also making mischief with the sexual politics of the plot. – The New Yorker

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

As silly as Ozon’s The Crime is Mine may be, the French farce is still wildly entertaining. – RogerEbert.com

A sly slice of feminist triumph… A surprisingly wholesome amoral romp. – Screen Daily

The epitome of a comfort film, decked out in old-Hollywood nostalgia and unfolding at an auctioneer’s clip. – The New York Times
