Movie Description
Catherine Deneuve stars in this thriller as Marianne Malivert, the elegantly wasted wife of a successful jeweler. Lost in the haze of alcoholism, Marianne hardly notices that her husband's business is headed for bankruptcy and has never suspected him a criminal until he gives her five obviously stolen diamonds to look after. When he turns up dead the next day, Marianne finds that the diamonds are being pursued by the the De Beers cartel, her brother-in-law, and an enigmatic man named Battistelli, with whom she had an affair many years ago. Ms. Deneuve, who is brilliant as Marianne, and director Nicole Garcia have crafted an engaging crime drama and mood piece, one that projects an aura of decaying grandeur and the hope of new beginnings.

Industry Reviews
"...This complex, sophisticated and increasingly suspenseful tale of love and betrayal, intrigue and redemption, is as elegant as its star and its settings..."
Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas (09/08/2000)
"...One of the pleasures of the movie is how it only gradually reveals the details of relationships....[The] human level is always there beneath the thriller elements..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (10/13/2000)
