	Love Crime by George Sax
	Christine (Kristin Scott Thomas), the senior executive at the Paris offices of an international food products conglomerate, is a very dangerous woman. Suavely manipulative and disarming in her carefully deployed show of candor, she poses a particular hazard to her young assistant Isabelle (Ludivine Sagnier), whom she draws into a disconcerting, flattering, and false intimacy. Giving Isabelle gifts, fussing over her like a parent or a lover, seeming to offer coveted employment opportunities, she also exploits the young woman’s work for her own career purposes.
