The Page Turner

This acclaimed and emotionally taut thriller stars Deborah Francois as Melanie, a young woman whose love of music turns into a passion for revenge. Self-possessed and cooly calculating, Melanie finds work as a nanny to the young son of the well-known concert pianist Ariane Foucherot (Catherine Frot). By contrast fragile and insecure, Ariane is taken by her new employee's professional manner and evident musical sensitivity and soon engages her as her personal page turner. But beneath Melanie's seemingly perfect exterior lies a secret and terrible grudge against Ariane, based on a thoughtless incident from the past that thwarted Melanie's own musical ambitions. Having potentially bided her time for ten long years, she at last prepares to exact her chilling revenge.
