Synopsis
Love Crime (Crime d'amour, 2010) is a French thriller by Alain Corneau that you can watch online on iFILM. Two women, one multinational, and a cold duel won not by the stronger player but by the more patient one.
Kristin Scott Thomas plays a ruthless corporate boss; Ludivine Sagnier is the gifted protégée she first grooms and then humiliates in front of everyone. That humiliation sets a plan in motion. The revenge is timed to the minute, built around alibis and someone else's arrogance, and it works precisely because it reads as passion rather than calculation. Glass offices, spotless suits, and underneath it all the oldest motives there are — envy, desire, the dread of being nobody.
This was Corneau's final film, and two years later Brian De Palma reworked the same setup as Passion. The 2010 original is drier and meaner. It suits viewers who like smart mysteries where the tension comes from planning, not bloodshed. Stream Love Crime online on iFILM.
