In Claude Lelouch's latest film Judith Ralitzer, played by Truffaut's final muse Fanny Ardant, is a successful crime novelist in search of inspiration for her next bestseller. Revolving around a mysterious disappearance, a prison escape, and a notorious serial killer known as the Magician, ROMAN DE GARE is slick and slippery. Lelouch, best known for his academy-award winning film A MAN AND A WOMAN (1966), pays homage to the French literary genre of Roman de gare, popular easy-to-read novels, with a deceptively layered and intriguingly misleading film.
