excellent French thriller

Judith Ralitzer (Fanny Ardant) is a novelist searching for her latest idea, with the help of her ghost writer, Pierre Laclos (Dominique Pinon). Pierre will accidentally meet Huguette on a highway and embark on an interesting journey with her, which will lead to his writing a novel surrounding events he's heard about: a serial killer on the loose, his brother-in-law's disappearance, and finally his life as a ghost writer.

At the beginning, the spectator wonders if Pinon's character is the serial killer, or someone else. Well done! This isn't defined clearly until near the end.
A good thriller where everything slowly starts to make sense, and the pieces start to fit. Nice ending. Good cast. Decent direction by Lelouch.
For a French suspense thriller, I found the script well layered and not deceptive. You just have to get into it, and wait for the story to develop.
It was great to see a movie that didn't need a 200-million-dollar budget, or guns, or everlasting car chases.

An entertaining thriller.
