Movie Info
Confusion reigns when police officers storm the office of novelist Judith Ralitzer (Fanny Ardant) and drag her into the station for questioning. The officers point out disturbing similarities between Judith's popular mysteries and the crimes of an active serial killer known as "The Magician." Meanwhile, a young woman (Audrey Dana) abandoned by her fiancé, finds her family suddenly ensnared in the twisted web of intrigue surrounding a man who claims he is Ralitzer's ghostwriter.

At the end of act one we discover the answers to many of the film's questions: is this guy a rapist on the run, a ghost writer, or a man abandoning his family? Structurally, this is awfully early to answer so many questions that have such import on the ensuing action. But the rest of the film does not disappoint. Despite its structural flaws, it's still able to re-invent itself as it moves along. Exceptional performances by he of the interesting-looking face, Dominique Pinon, and Audrey Dana, who plays the emotionally damaged but still somehow indomitable Huguette, keep us caring about these characters no matter what story imprisons them.

a quite well plotted and acted thriller.

Seemed promising to me, but ended up as just another not-so-bad drama. It's okay for one time watch though.
