Director: Francois Ozon
Cast: Charlotte Rampling, Ludivine Sagnier, Charles Dance, Marc Fayolle

A slick and entertaining drama about a burned out crime novelist who finds a retreat in her agent's house in Provence, that is until the owner's over-sexed daughter shows up. The ladies go from detesting to manipulating each other, and ultimately end up sharing a secret. Or do they? That depends on what you make of the ending.
