This month, TV5MONDE Cinema On Demand presents Petits meurtres en famille, a game of clues, lies, mysteries and ghosts in the closet.

Petits meurtres en famille

Muriel Bayen (Sandrine Kiberlain), a divorced mother of two, takes her devotion to rock star Vincent Lacroix (Laurent Lafitte) too far in this comedic thriller. Muriel leaves her beauty parlor life behind when Vincent asks her to help dispose of the body of his girlfriend, who he accidentally killed during an argument. Suspense builds as they are pursued by two recently separated detectives (Pascal Demolon) and (Olivia Cote) who are quarreling with each other while trying to solve the crime. Directed by Jeanne Herry.

""Une esthétique à la Cluedo, un humour décoché quand il faut, une caméra qui s'amuse avec nos nerfs de la bibliothèque au grand salon, jusqu'au bureau. C'est en observateur averti et amusé que l'on voit chaque personnage entrer dans l'histoire de ce feuilleton, essuyer l'ironie glaçante du patriarche et se découvrir de bonnes raisons de le détester. D'autant que Robert Hossein, en châtelain des années 1930, manipulateur, est joliment crédible." - Télérama
