Prolific filmmaker François Ozon‘s 22nd feature is an effervescent screwball comedy with a brilliant ensemble cast, loosely adapted from a 1934 French play by Georges Berr and Louis Verneuil. In 1930s Paris, aspiring actress Madeleine Verdier is accused of murdering a lecherous theater producer in self-defense. Once she’s acquitted, she and her aspiring-attorney roommate begin their glorious new life of fame and fortune… until the real truth comes out. With a nod to the #MeToo era, Ozon describes The Crime Is Mine as the final chapter in his feminist trilogy — with 8 Women and Potiche — on “the hold men have over women” and “the ultimate triumph of sisterhood.” And what a delectable triumph it is!
