Cast : Yvan Attal, Clovis Cornillac, Olga Kurylenko, Minna Haapkylä, Pierre Richard.

Plot : French thriller Le Serpent is a long gestating adaptation of Get Carter author Ted Lewis' seedy 70s blackmail thriller Plender. Yvan Attal is Vincent, a photographer going through a messy and very hostile custody battle with his rich wife. Soon he gets set up in what initially appears to be a honeytrap involving a model. When an ill-advised second meeting with her ends up very messily, he finds old school friend, private investigator and blackmailer Joseph Plender literally crashing back into his life.

Written and directed by Eric Barbier.
