La Chambre Bleue (The Blue Room) – French Film Festival

This is the first of six films in the Virginia Tech French Film Festival.

This erotic thriller starring and directed by the acclaimed actor Mathieu Amalric is also based on a novel by Georges Simenon, France's greatest mystery writer and inventor of the famed Inspector Maigret (not featured in this Simenon tale).

This fractured narrative tells a somber tale.
