Au Cinéma: Crime d'Amour

So we all had homework during our intensive language booster class last week (seems so long ago!) but while I was writing résumés and explications du texte, Le Chef was sent to see a movie! He invited me and his mère d'accueil along and we all watched Kristin Scott Thomas and Ludivine Sagnier tear it up in Crime d'Amour (Love Crime).



The plot follows the young, ambitious, and brilliant Isabelle (Sagnier) as she first falls in love with her boss, Christine (Thomas), then comes to hate her after Christine betrays her repeatedly. The film's pacing is perfect for creating suspense, and luckily for those of us in the audience who were just off the boat, very visual. (Not one of those French movies that is all talking.) The ending is fantastic, and Le Chef and I were both pleased to discover we understood more than half of what was said! :)
