Meurtre en trois actes (2013 TV Movie)
8/10
Light entertainment with a brilliant ending
14 September 2019
I thought this film was an adaptation of Agatha Christie's "Murder in Three Acts." But I soon realized that this was not the case. Still I find this detective very amusing.

Acting is pretty good and I also like the cinematography, editing and costumes. The story is set in the present, but elements from different periods are mixed in this film. For example, everyone drives around in cars from the present, but there is a man with an 80s haircut, a lady with a 90s haircut and this all interspersed with the classical costumes they wear when they perform a play. It makes it a bit strange, but therefore also lighter.

The story is not perfect, but that did not bother me. I certainly think "Meurtre en trois actes" is not an A-film, but it does rise above the B-film. Certainly the ending would not be out of place in an A-film. I was certainly surprised by how excellent it was.
