SUR MES LEVRES READ MY LIPS

[Machine Translation] Carla, who works for a land development company, is handicapped by her hearing loss and is forced to do the unfulfilling routine work of filing paperwork and making phone calls every day. At the company, she is disregarded by the president and her colleagues, and in her personal life she is increasingly lonely. One day, a rough but wildly attractive young man named Paul appears before Carla as her assistant. Carla is immediately intrigued by him, even though she knows he is a man on probation after returning from prison. When Paul learns that Carla is a lip-reader due to her hearing loss, he devises a plan to use her "skill" to extort a large sum of money from a black market organization. The breathless suspense between the man and the woman, who are bound together by a fated complicity, unfolds in a thrilling manner. The intricately intertwined screenplay and structure create a bold and royal film noir! Jacques Odiard, director of "The Night Angels Sleep Next Door", won the 2002 Cesar Awards for Best Actress, Best Screenplay, and three other awards for "Amelie", beating out Odorei Tautou of "Amelie". Vincent Cassel gives a strong performance as a sexy thug on his way home from prison.
