Review of The Swindle (1997) by Stephen C — 03 Apr 2008
Not nearly as juicy or intelligent as other Claude Charbol (as director) and Isabelle Huppert (as actress and force of nature period) collaborations. Consider their masterpieces together including "La Ceramonie" and "The Story of Women".
However this ends up being so much fun that it is a favorite. Both smart and funny, Huppert and Michael Serrault play so well off each other in this film suspenseful and surprisingly hilarious con artist film.
I love Huppert in all of her films but this one is particularly nice due to the fact that it is more light hearted in comparison to her often weighter dramas.
