Nicole Garcia directed this French suspense thriller set in the posh Paris square of Place Vendôme, where the jewelers district includes the firm run by Vincent Malivert (Bernard Fresson) with his brother, Eric (François Berléand). Although Vincent has a top reputation in the field, his British colleagues suspect he fences stolen diamonds. Vincent's alcoholic wife Marianne (Catherine Deneuve), who goes to a classy clinic to dry out, doesn't like the thought of signing papers to transfer the firm's name to other hands, a move that will save the firm from bankruptcy. Thanks to Vincent, she knows of some hidden diamonds, but others would also like to locate the hidden pouch, including the mysterious employers of Kleiser (Philippe Clevenot). The odyssey sends Marianne into boardrooms, past the workbenches of gem-cutters, and on through the hotels, cafes, and diamond markets of Paris and Antwerp. Shown in competition at the 1998 Venice Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide

| I love this movie. Catherine Deneuve is absolutely magnificent. She fascinates. The mood and the music is haunting much like her character. It's a story that is out of the past. Jacques Dutronc was the dangerous love responsible for where she is today. You can see with his presence how she was voluntarily manipulated. It spins around Place Vendome, Hotel Ritz and the dangers behind the diamond trade. Jean-Pierre Bacri's character also damaged is excellent. Emmanuelle Seigner's character also voluntarily manipulated. |
