Violette Nozière

The Story of an Extraordinary Crime.

A dark, psychologically probing portrait of a young woman's deception and moral transgression in 1930s Paris, grounded in the tension between respectability and hidden desire.

Paris, 1933. The daughter of a respectable lower middle class couple, Violette Nozière, leads a disreputable double life. Far from being the innocent 18-year-old her parents mistake her for, she spends her nights with dissolute young men in the less salubrious areas of the city.
