Mi crimen

...the film delivers this material with such a bubbly optimism that it wouldn’t be a surprise if the cast broke into a choreographed number from Gold Diggers of 1933.

...has layers of textbook farce decorated with a confectioner’s critique. We rarely see such quaint delights in cinemas these days.

François Ozon’s 1930s crime comedy is a moreish crowdpleaser.

Tereszkiewicz and Marder delight as a double act, but it’s Huppert who steals the show with a cunning smile.

...a chameleonic film to match a chameleonic director.

Does crime pay? In the world of François Ozon’s fluffy period farce, it certainly can.
