Tell No One
Many years have passed since Margot was brutally murderer: a crime for which her husband Alex (francois Cluzet) was the prime suspect. He is able to escape his grief only by immersing himself in his work as a paediatrician and through his friendship with his sister's lover Helene (Kristin Scott Thomas), his only link to the world.

But when two bodies are uncovered near where Margot's corpse was found, her case is reopened. Shockingly, this incident coincides with Alex receiving email images of Margot. Could she possibly be alive?

36 Quai Des Orfevres
A violent Parisian gang has been operating with complete disregard for the law, stealing millions and leaving several dead. There are only two men who can stop them: head of the Search and Action Squad, Leo Vrinks (Daniel Auteuil) and the head of the Anti-Crime Unit, Denis Klein (Gerard Depardieu). Their chief, Robert Mancini (Andre Dussollier), lays down a challenge to the two men. Whichever man captures the gang will replace him as the head of Criminal Investigations Department.
