French Riviera

The legendary Catherine Deneuve reunites with director André Téchiné for their seventh collaboration, set amid the turbulent Nice casino wars of the 1970s. Deneuve plays the real life casino heiress Renée Le Roux, whose memoir was the basis of the film's screenplay. Renée's daughter, Agnès Le Roux (Adèle Haenel), returns home after a failed marriage and falls under the spell of her mother's advisor, the intriguing and ambitious lawyer, Maurice Agnelet (Guillaume Canet). After a calculated betrayal, the casino comes under the control of a mafia kingpin, Fratoni (Jean Corso), and Agnès goes missing forever. This fascinating film tells the story of the most famous alleged murder case from this period, with a verdict only just reached in 2014. With both edge-of-the-seat thrills and beautifully shot landscapes of the French Riviera, this is a riveting and heart-wrenching true story of money, passion, family loyalty and the pursuit of justice.
