Film Description

In her seventh collaboration with veteran director Chabrol, Isabelle Huppert takes on the role of Judge Jeanne Charmant Killman, assigned the job of investigating a high-profile case of corruption and embezzlement at a giant state-supported company. As her investigation gathers momentum, Killman uncovers an immense scandal reaching into upper echelons of government. The deeper she delves and the more she uncovers, the more powerful she becomes. However, under the pressures of her sudden influence and notoriety, Killman's private life begins to unravel, and she finds herself probing both the limits of her own power and its intoxicating grip.

Chabrol's drama was inspired by the real-life story of examining magistrate Eva Joly's investigation into charges of fraud and bribery at the French oil company Elf Aquitaine, and probes into France's unspoken laws of class and power.
