When Christine, a powerful executive, brings on a naive young ingénue, Isabelle, as her assistant, she delights in toying with her naiveté and teaching her hard lessons in a ruthless professional philosophy. But when the protégé’s ideas become tempting enough for Christine to pass one as her own, she underestimates Isabelle's ambition and cunning, and the ground is set for all out war in this devilish, propulsive thriller. Starring Kristin Scott Thomas.
Love Crime was the final film from French director Alain Corneau, released just before his death in 2010. With chilling performances from a wonderful cast, Love Crime is an intelligent thriller that will leave you on the edge of your seat. Part of the official selections for Los Angeles Film Festival and Toronto International Film Festival as well as the Irish Film Festival in 2012, Love Crime has been shown internationally and has gained great popularity.
In 2012 Love Crime was remade into an English speaking film Passion starring Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace.
