The Crime Is Mine 2023 Movie Review Trailer Poster

Madeleine Verdier is a struggling actress in Paris in the 1930s. She is accused of murdering a famous producer and is acquitted with the help of her best friend, a young lawyer. Her newfound fame and success become too much for her and she eventually spirals out of control.


Set in Paris during a time of great social and political upheaval, The Crime is Mine accurately depicts the city's glamorous nightclubs and sordid underworld. Director François Ozon captures the atmosphere of the era, reflecting the impact of World War I and the rise of fascism in Europe.

Director: François Ozon
Writers: François Ozon, Philippe Piazzo, Georges Berr
Stars: Nadia Tereszkiewicz, Rebecca Marder, Isabelle Huppert

This elegant and witty comedy-drama explores themes of ambition and the dangers of getting what you want. The tone of the film is light and humorous for the most part, but takes a darker turn in the second half as Madeleine's downfall begins.


Nadia Tereszkiewicz gives an excellent performance as Madeleine, the ambitious and reckless actress, supported by a strong cast, including Isabelle Huppert as Madeleine's best friend and Fabrice Luchini as the charming and manipulative lawyer who defends her in court.


François Ozon is a master of stylish period drama and directs The Crime is Mine with a sure hand, creating a visually striking and emotionally resonant film. The film's music, written by Philippe Rombi, perfectly matches the images and tone, and reflects Madeleine's dual nature. Manuel Dacosse's cinematography is also sumptuous and evocative, capturing the beauty and glamor of 1930s Paris, as well as the darker side of the city.


The film is full of symbolism, such as the recurring image of the red dress that Madeleine wears, which represents her ambition and desire to be seen. The production design is impeccable, recreating the world of 1930s Paris in meticulous detail.


The Crime is Mine maintains a fast pace, with witty and sharp dialogue that perfectly suits the characters and the setting. Ozon keeps the audience guessing until the end, making for a fun and entertaining film with a lot to say about the dangers of ambition and the importance of staying true to yourself.


One small criticism of the film is that it sometimes feels a bit long, with some scenes that could have been cut without affecting the story. The ending also feels a little too clean and tidy for my taste.


I would recommend The Crime is Mine to fans of stylish period dramas and clever comedies. It is a fun and entertaining film that conveys a powerful message about the dangers of ambition.
