Hygiène de l'assassin (1999)
Film Synopsis
Not long after being interviewed by a number of journalists, Prétextat Tach, a Nobel Prize winning writer who has lived the life of a recluse for many years, is found dead, murdered. As they investigate the killing, the police uncover some surprising things about the dead man. The finger of suspicion soon falls on Nina, a young journalist who was the last person to see Tach alive. It appears that she has made a long and meticulous study of the writer's past, in particular his first love affair with a woman named Léopoldine, who mysteriously vanished some time ago...© James Travers
