Image galleryIsabelle, a young manager on her way to the top in a multinational corporation, is full of admiration for her boss, Christine.

An old-fashioned thriller by Alain Corneau set in the modern business world, «Crime d'amour» is a classic mystery with a not-very-convincing climax based on outdated investigation techniques. The cynicism and the affective misery in a cold office setting makes for the right ambiance, but the performances by the protagonists - even though it's Kristin Scott Thomas and Ludivine Sagnier - are too uneven to make the movie credible as a whole.
