Director Daniel has just made a turkey of a film. He and his producer friend, Jack, badly need a new, successful project. As Daniel struggles to make his new film, Jack's beautiful wife, Bella, begins writing a book about the process. Life, and passion - as ever - complicate the process. Crime of Passion is by turns blackly comic and strangely uplifting. It is a superb work of fiction, the product of a master filmmaker at the height of his powers.
