Love Crime Blu-ray Drops May 27 - IFC Films

Love Crime, directed by Alain Corneau, is set for a Blu-ray release by IFC Films this May 27. The 2010 film stars Kristin Scott Thomas and Ludivine Sagnier in a nerve-racking confrontation that masterfully blends a tale of corporate deceit and ambition.

This final cinematic piece from Corneau, known for Serie Noire and Tous Les Matins du Monde, examines the power dynamics within a high-stakes corporate environment. The plot intricately weaves together elements of manipulation and betrayal as Isabelle, played by Sagnier, finds herself under the guiding yet treacherous mentorship of Scott Thomas’s character, Christine. Suspicions of backstabbing arise when Isabell's creativity tempts Christine to commit a corporate sin by claiming Isabelle's innovative ideas as her own.

The Blu-ray release promises a mix of features that will engage both film enthusiasts and new viewers. Special additions include an insightful audio commentary by film critic Travis Woods and a compelling video essay that delves into the narrative complexities, contributed by film historian Alexandra Heller-Nicholas. A booklet featuring new writing from film critic Katie Rife adds further depth to the viewing experience.

This release, set in French with English subtitles, combines the sharp cinematic wit of Corneau with standout performances from its lead actors, ensuring that Love Crime remains an essential addition for fans of intense thrillers and corporate drama narratives.
