He had been lying for 18 years to his family and friends, and to finish with this dark secret. The man survived, and was sentenced to life imprisonment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Nicole Garcia, one of France&rsquo;s finest actresses, previously directed Place Vend\u00f4me, a similar dark tale about the misery of middle class life. But this story is actually a true one, which makes watching the film even more terrifying. The film is based on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.fr\/gp\/redirect.html?link_code=ur2&amp;tag=stefandevries-21&amp;camp=1642&amp;creative=6746&amp;location=%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2F2070416216%2F\">book<\/a> with the same title, by Emmanuel Carr\u00e8re published in 2000 (also translated in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B00006F7JH\/thecoolguide\"><span class=\"link_small\">English<\/span><\/a>), but I wonder if people who do not know the background story will understand anything of the film. L&rsquo;Adversaire has good and appropriate undercooled acting (Daniel Auteuil plays the disturbed Jean-Marc), and the whole film is very tense. However, I would not recommend this film if you are already depressed, or a compulsive liar&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"L&rsquo;adversaire FR 2002 (120&prime;)- Dir.: Nicole Garcia.
