Claude Chabrol directs this French drama, which is inspired by real events surrounding the fraud inquiry into the French oil company Elf Aquitaine in the mid-1990s. Isabelle Huppert stars as Jeanne Charmant-Killman, a tough and shrewd judge assigned to the case of Michel Humeau (Francois Berleand), the corrupt president of a national corporation who thinks he is above the law. As the case unfolds, revealing the cynical and immoral financial dealings of a welter of public figures, Jeanne becomes increasingly intoxicated with the power she wields by sending these powerful wrongdoers to jail.
