François Ozon’s THE CRIME IS MINE Gets a UK/ROI Release [Trailer/Poster]

Ozon's comedy comes to UK/ROI cinemas in October.

Prolific French auteur François Ozon (By the Grace of God; Summer of 85) loosely adapts the 1934 play 'Mon crime' by Georges Berr and Louis Verneuil for his latest comedy The Crime is Mine. The film stars Nadia Tereszkiewicz as Madeleine, an actress who finds herself accused of the murder of a notoriously sleazy theatre producer. Enlisting the aid of her unemployed lawyer friend Pauline (Rebecca Marder), Madeleine milks her newfound fame.

The film also stars Isabelle Huppert, Fabrice Luchini, Dany Boon and André Dussollier.

The Crime is Mine is in UK/ROI cinemas from October 18th.

Check out the trailer and poster below.

The official synopsis reads:

Paris in the 1930s — a playground for industrial heirs and debonair architects, but the City of Lights does not shine evenly for all. Struggling actress Madeleine (Nadia Terezkiewicz) and her best friend Pauline (Rebecca Marder), an unemployed lawyer, live in a cramped flat and owe five months’ rent. Opportunity knocks after a lascivious theatrical producer who made an inappropriate advance towards Madeleine turns up dead. Madeleine stands trial for murder and ascends to decadent stardom, with Pauline serving as defence counsel and media circus ringmaster. A new life of fame, wealth and tabloid celebrity awaits — until the truth comes out.
