Marc\u2019s reputation precedes him, and as expected, the school\u2019s resident Lothario is soon under suspicion by the authorities. Less expected, however, is the appearance of the missing student\u2019s beautiful stepmother Anna, poking around for clues. Marc, a man at the mercy of his own appetites, decides to make her his next conquest. Adapted from\u00a0Incidences\u00a0by Philippe Dijan, whose other novels inspired the films\u00a0Betty Blue\u00a0and\u00a0Unforgivable,\u00a0this chilly thriller uses its Swiss Alps setting to maximum effect. Mathieu Almaric (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Quantum of Solace)\u00a0is commanding as the cigarette and sex addicted lit teacher with a sister hidden amongst the skeletons in his closet.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/athome.fandango.com\/content\/browse\/details\/Love-Is-the-Perfect-Crime\/1753653?cmp=rt_where_to_watch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH NOW\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOVE IS THE PERFECT CRIME | 2013\u00a0&#8211; 115&#8242; &#8211;\u00a0Drama, Crime, Mystery, Thriller, Films &amp; Literature.
