The Color of Lies 1999

Au Coeur du Mensonge (1999)     A tense suspense drama about the fallout from a crime in a small Breton town.  Rene is a professional painter but times are hard and he teaches art to children after school.  One of his students, a 10 year old girl is found murdered and Rene is the last person to have seen her alive.  His wife, Viviane is a very busy district nurse trying to keep their household together on little money.  Frederique is the new chief of police in a cozy and fashionable seaside community in Brittany.  She barely knows the people living here but now must question them to solve the crime.
     This is good, you know who is not the killer but you're not sure who is.  Later a man is killed and you think you probably know who the killer is this time.  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)
 
113 min, Drama directed by Claude Chabrol with Sandrine Bonnaire, Jacques Gamblin, Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi, Antoine de Caunes,  Bernard Verley, Pierre Martot, Bulle Ogier, Adrienne Pauly, Noel Simsolo. 

Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 6.7 out of 10, no critic reviews 45% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
