Intrusions (2008)
Directed by Emmanuel Bourdieu

Film Synopsis

Wealthy businessman André de Saché is far from pleased to discover that his daughter Pauline has become pregnant by one of his employees, François Lebrun.  To avoid a scandal, André forces Pauline and François to marry, offering a promotion to the latter as an incentive.  The marriage proves to be a disaster.  Within three months, François realises he can no longer go on living with his moody and egoistical wife, and so promptly walks out on her.  This sends Pauline into a mad rage.  Unable to contain her anger, she rings up her husband and leaves a message on his answer phone in which she threatens to kill him.

By chance, this vitriolic outburst is overheard by Alexis Target, one of Pauline's household staff.  That very evening, François is killed, the victim of what seems to be a terrible car accident.  This would appear to be a tidy resolution to a very messy situation.  Pauline has had her revenge and her father is conveniently rid of an embarrassing son-in-law.  But on the day of the funeral, Alexis confides in Pauline that it was he who murdered her husband, just as she wished.  It seems that he had his own reasons for wanting to see François dead and buried...
