TOUT DOIT DISPARAÎTRE (1997)
Philippe Ledem, a screenwriter friend, had written this screenplay. I have always loved comedy and I was tempted by the idea of an "English-style" black comedy. The film is special because it marked the true screen debuts of Elie Seimoun, José Garcia, Yolande Moreau and Ophélie Winter. I have since observed that the film is either loved or (more often I think) hated outright. Since I make films to learn how to make films, this one was a good experience for me all the same.
SYNOPSIS
Robert Millard is fed up with his wife Irène. He decides to kill her. But how can he carry out the perfect crime, one that will allow him to live happily with Eve, his pretty mistress? One day, he meets Gérard Piche, a writer of airport thrillers, gifted with boundless imagination and specialized in increasingly inventive crimes. Using the excuse of commissioning a novel from the writer, he orders him to come up with a foolproof way of killing his wife without being suspected. However, they haven't reckoned with Monsieur Colle, a paparazzi and exceptionally stubborn detective...
