Anything For Her
Pour Elle

Director: Fred Cavayé
Actors: Diane Kruger / Vincent Lindon / Olivier Marchal

You'll be hard pressed to see a more exciting thriller than this pulsequickening feature debut from photographer-turned-director Fred Cavayé, about a couple who are stretched to breaking point when the wife is accused of a crime she says she didn't commit.

With a loving, stable marriage of many years, a devoted son and a quiet life in suburban France, life feels supremely happy for Julien and Lisa. Then one morning, police burst in and inexplicably arrest Lisa for a murder she appears to have no knowledge about. Unwilling to endure the time it will take to sort through French bureaucracy and reeling in turmoil, Julien resorts to a desperate plan of action...

The always wonderful Lindon is again superb – the character's mental chaos and desperate vigilantism unfolding with absolute plausibility before our eyes.
