The Crime Is Mine - 2023 - 6/10
AKA - Mon Crime
Splendid homage / pastiche / satire of lush melodramas of the 1940’s.
Struggling actress Madeleine stands accused of murdering a lecherous theatrical producer.
She has a strong alibi, the prosecution’s case is riddled with discrepancies.
And yet … murder is such good publicity.
As a comedy, this repeatedly brushes against silly.
Few characters display intelligence.
Isabelle Huppert appears late in a flamboyant role.
Fans of Ozun know this director and know he releases goofy stories periodically.
