Impeccably mounted and played with relish by a stellar cast, this unashamedly old-fashioned entertainment, set during the fall of France in 1940, oozes class. Director Jean-Paul Rappeneau ably combines romance, suspense and dark comedy as Isabelle Adjani's scheming screen star exploits both lustful government minister Gérard Depardieu and aspiring author Grégori Derangère to cover up a Parisian killing. Indeed, the action becomes even more intricate after the trio fetches up in Bordeaux and becomes involved with Yvan Attal's petty thief and Virginie Ledoyen, whose atomic scientist boss is on the run from the Nazis. Moreover, beneath all the surface sophistication, Rappeneau also manages to explore some of the deeper issues concerning the move to Vichy control. DP
