Love Is the Perfect Crime L'amour est un crime parfait

Arnaud Larrieu, Jean-Marie Larrieu / France, Switzerland / 2013 / 111 min / French

A thriller riddled with dark humour, Love Is the Perfect Crime stars the sensational Matthieu Amalric as a womanizer who is thrust into a whirlwind of unforeseen events and all-consuming passion after one of his lovers has gone missing.

Marc is a libidinous lecturer in creative writing at the Lausanne University who thinks nothing of sleeping with as many of his attractive young female students as possible. After one such night of passion, a student, Barbara, fails to return home and the police are called in to investigate her disappearance. Suspicion falls on Marc who admits to having an affair with the student but claims ignorance as to her whereabouts. The intrigue deepens when Barbara’s stepmother appears on campus looking for her stepdaughter and she and Marc begin a torrid love affair.

»The film always highlights the character’s point of view and that is where the seeds of doubt are sown: is this what we want, why are we guilty? We never know what actually happened. As in life, when serious events occur, you have to dig really deep to be able to uncover the meaning. In any case, we like mythology: gods and legends are anchored in reality, that’s what makes reality all the more different and all the richer, the fact that it’s not a news programme. We try to tell stories with multiple layers.« (Jean-Marie Larrieu)
