In 1930s Paris, Madeleine, a pretty, young, penniless and talentless actress, is accused of murdering a famous producer. Helped by her best friend Pauline, a young unemployed lawyer, she is acquitted on the grounds of self-defense. A new life of fame and success begins, until the truth comes out.

The new film by revered French director Francois Ozon is a homage to ’30s screwball style and a love letter to cinema and theater. The Crime Is Mine boasts a light and elegant comic touch, lavish production values and a star-studded cast. A “sly slice of feminist triumph,” (Screen).
