Terry Lambert (Steve Guttenberg) is having an affair with his boss's wife Sylvia (Isabelle Huppert). Through her lover's window she sees a punk (Brad Greenquist) attack a young woman, Denise (Elizabeth McGovern). To protect Sylvia, Terry tells the police he witnessed the assault. But the road to jail is paved with good intentions. Soon Terry is a fugitive, and both Sylvia and Denise are prey to a wily killer...
...Isabelle Huppert, 33, has spent most of her busy career in French films, including Passion and Entre Nous (both 1983) and, opening in the U.S. this week, Sincerely Charlotte, directed by her sister Elisabeth, 38.

No such luck in My Best Friend's Girl (La Femme de Mon Pole), an "adult" triangle about a sad-sack disc jockey and a tall...
...Huppert maintains a consistently powerful presence throughout the film, providing the more stable thoughtful facet of the seemingly inseparable pair. Miou, as the more flighty impulsive Madeline, delivers a performance that combines an almost childlike impulsiveness and love for adventure with an almost preoccupied, melancholy...
