Description

|
|
|
This 2006 thriller—and Berlin Film Festival Golden Lion nominee—from French New Wave veteran Claude Chabrol offers a provocative account of corporate and political corruption inspired by a real-life scandal involving a French oil giant and several top-level politicians. Isabelle Huppert stars as Jeanne, a tenacious magistrate known as "the piranha" of the judiciary system, who puts her personal life on the back burner to pursue white-collar criminals with their private hands in public pockets. But after gaining fame for locking up an embezzling CEO, Jeanne pushes the limits of her power too far and finds herself in a dangerous game of threats and intimidation. Packaged in the original French cover, the DVD is in French with English subtitles.
