The Old Lady Who Walked in the Sea

In this offbeat French crime comedy-drama, a con artist couple takes on a new mark, but when the woman develops an interest in him, jealousies simmer just below the surface. As the plot unfolds, Laurent Heynemann masterfully balances lighthearted humor with darker undertones, bringing to life a cast of complex characters that leap from the screen. Jeanne Moreau shines as Lady M, a domineering yet strangely vulnerable figure at the center of the story, earning her a well-deserved César Award for Best Actress in 1992.
