What if one of Harvey Weinstein's victims, unable to fend off her attacker, just shot him through the head? Would that count as self-defence? And how would the court case about this crime look like?

This is one way of interpreting 'Mon Crime', the delightful new film by François Ozon. The similarities are too obvious to ignore. It's about a young, attractive actress visiting a powerful film producer in order to get a part in a new film. But during the interview, the producer turns out to be a sexual predator. She admits to having killed him with his own gun. During the court case, she uses all her acting abilities to convince the jury of her innocence.

The funny thing is, this is not a serious analysis of power and gender, but a screwball comedy set in 1930's Paris. It's hilarious, it's stylish, and it's full of razor sharp references to the present. Ozon captures the 1930's style of film making perfectly, including the exaggerated acting, the witty dialogues, and the continuous plot twists, one even more improbable than the other.

It's clear that Ozon had lots of fun making this movie. He inserted small films-within-the film (in silent-movie style), he used marvellous 30s locations (I recognized the Villa Empain in Brussels), he casted Isabelle Hupert in one of the most memorable parts of the film, and he lets the jokes continue, even during the end credits.

This is not a cutting-edge film which will blow you away. But it's a perfectly made, very entertaining movie which doesn't have any weak moments.

A character piece from well-known and much loved French cast, with witty scripting and well crafted twists.

Charmingly shot and well edited, the costumes and make-up reflect the period. The individual players are well matched and clearly defined, very much within the scope of French culture. One aspect that this film scores highly on is that it is not too long - unlike many Hollywood films which are overpadded with repetitious effects.

Cinema is a medium that targets particular audiences and this film hits the bull's eye. If you instantly forget 90% of a particular genre, then don't watch it. If you don't watch it, don't comment...

That movie really know how to use comedy and murder in this story. I enjoyed the movie and how that can suddenly go into comedy pretty quickly with some characters that can switch the serious tone to something more funny. Im not a huge fan of these kind of mix: comedy and murder mystery dont really mix in my opinion but here i really enjoyed it. The story get less and less serious and thats what i regret during the whole movie: the story was interesting and the murder mystery too but they go too much into comedy for me. Even if some situations are really funny but sometimes it was pretty annoying to be honest. I enjoyed also the revelations arround the murder and who really killed the director and how our characters will survive to poverty, womans social conditions, men's abusive behavior. I enjoyed also the moments in Black and white and really remind us the 20's. Pretty unexpected how thing are going: a woman admit a murder that she didnt commit and get out of poverty and the real murder, a famous actress, want to admit her real crime and get the glory again: i mean it was pretty original and didnt see that often. I enjoyed also the nudity scene and it add some sensuality to the movie.

I mean it was really interesting and........ funny!
