Directed by François Ozon, Mon Crime is a crime comedy starring Nadia Tereszkiewicz, Rebecca Marder, Fabrice Luchini, Isabelle Huppert, and Dany Boon. Released in theaters in 2023, this lively, retro-style feature film is set in the 1930s and combines social satire, feminism, and absurd humor. The film will be broadcast for the first time on France 2 on Sunday, November 9, at 9:15 p.m.
After Peter Von Kant, François Ozon returns to a women's comedy reminiscent of his hits Potiche and 8 Femmes. The script features two young women who, in a Paris of the 1930s as brilliant as it is hypocritical, manipulate the codes of justice and celebrity to their advantage.

My Crime
Film | 2023 | 1h42
Broadcast on France 2 on Sunday, November 9, 2025, at 9:15 p.m.
Original title: Mon Crime
Nationality: France
Inspired by a play by Georges Berr and Louis Verneuil, this legal comedy tells the story of Madeleine, a penniless young actress accused of murdering a producer. Acquitted thanks to the talents of her lawyer friend Pauline, she becomes a celebrity before the truth resurfaces. The film combines humor and social criticism with the characteristic rhythm of Ozon's cinema.
Our opinion on My Crime
After two films that fell short of his usual standard (Tout s'est bien passé and Peter Von Kant), François Ozon has made one of his best feature films with Mon Crime, a mischievous and exhilarating comedy in which two friends, Madeleine and Pauline (Nadia Tereszkiewicz and Rebecca Marder), take advantage of the gullibility and idiocy of all the men they meet. When the first commits a crime, the second, a young lawyer, turns her into a tearful victim who should instead be celebrated for her actions.
Reminiscent of boulevard comedy and the absurd humor of the play on which it is based, the film is absolutely hilarious from start to finish. Every scene hits the mark, thanks to the incredible cast and their colorful characters. In addition to the two protagonists, Fabrice Luchini, Dany Boon, and Isabelle Huppert are particularly delightful.
As well as being a magnificent absurd farce, My Crime is also resolutely modern. Although the plot is set in the 1930s, the issues it raises are very much alive today and give this beautiful comedy a particular significance.
Finally, My Crime confirms Nadia Tereszkiewicz and Rebecca Marder as two of the most talented and exciting actresses of their generation.
