Tell No One (Ne le dis à personne)

This is a very good story told in a very interesting way. Yes, you have to read the movie unless you understand French, but it is well worth it. Whats the story? Eight years after his wife is murdered, she sends him an email.

This movie is as much a who-done-what as it is a who-done-it. What the writer giveth the writer taketh away. Never be too sure that you know whats going on, or what went on in the past. But make sure to keep track of which character is which. And don't even try to guess what will happen next until the very end, which I admit is very predictable.

Unless you are a fan of French cinema, the only face you may recognize is Kristin Scott Thomas. And yes, she speaks French perfectly through the whole movie. The rest of the cast is wonderful though. The main character looks vaguely like Dustin Hoffman.

Watch this movie with someone who will help you keep track of who's who.
