L'heure zéro

Based on an Agatha Christie story, "Towards Zero" is a thriller in the guise of a picnic. Set in a magnificent mansion on the shores of Brittany, the story revolves around an aging matriarch, her family and the vultures that come with wealth and fortune. Her nephew Guillaume (Melvil Poupaud), an absurdly handsome and easygoing man on the outside, is torn between ambition and leisure. In general, it seems beneath him to even compete, but occasionally, he can't help wanting to win. Good thing there is always another girl to take his pain away: Aude (Chiara Mastroianni), soulful and patient to the point of masochism. Quietly elegant Marie-Adeline (Alessandra Martines), struggling with demons all her own. Gorgeous Caroline (Johnny Hallyday's breathtaking daughter Laura Smet), a loud-mouthed tramp in designer clothes. Then people start getting killed. The girls dance round in a ring and suppose, but the culprit sits in the middle and knows. A lot of fun. Unfortunately, the movie is currently without distribution outside France.
