Isabelle Adjani (The Story of Adele H, Possession) is the ultimate femme fatale—a serial killer who lures wealthy men to their deaths. Michel Serrault (La Cage aux Folles), a solitary detective known as “The Eye,” is in pursuit. Convinced she is his long-lost daughter, he shadows her through Europe, Michel Serrault (Kill the Referee) plays ‘The Eye’, a P.I. who becomes obsessed with the target of his investigation, a murderer (Isabelle Adjani, The Story of Adele H.) he follows across Europe as she moves from one victim to another. Believing her to be his long-lost daughter, he conceals evidence as she evades capture and leaves a bloody trail in her wake. A transcontinental noir with wild doses of pitch black humour, Deadly Circuit features both leads on top form alongside a stunning supporting cast including Stephane Audran (The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie), Macha Méril (Deep Red), Sami Frey (Bande à part), and Jean-Claude Brialy (The Bride Wore Black) among others.
