Roman de gare
Series: Rendez-Vous with French Cinema 2008 [February 29 - March 9]
Director: Claude Lelouch, Country: France, Release: 2007, Runtime: 103

Bestselling author Judith Ralitzer (the wonderful Fanny Ardant) is being interrogated by the police because of some uncomfortable similarities between events in her novels and the actions of The Magician, a serial killer known for luring victims with card tricks and sleight-of-hand. Cut to a highway, where, after being abandoned by her boyfriend, Huguette (Audrey Dana) sees a man (Dominique Pinon) at a roadside rest stop performing card tricks for kids. He offers her a ride, and she thinks he might make a fine substitute for the boyfriend she was supposed to be bringing home to the family. These and several other stories cross, criss-cross and come back for more in Claude Lelouch's extremely wry, intriguing thriller of mixed identities and thwarted ambitions ~ a wonderful return to form for Lelouch, with a lovely soundtrack featuring the chansons of Gilbert Bécaud.
