'Double Lover' Clip & Poster: A Secret Is Revealed [Exclusive]

Prolific and acclaimed French filmmaker Francois Ozon likes to shift gears between pictures. Following his black-and-white World War I drama “Frantz,” the director turned up the heat with the sensational “Double Lover.” An erotic thriller in the tradition of Brian De Palma, Paul Verhoeven, and Adrian Lyne, the story will set your pulse racing as its characters cross professional, ethical, personal, and sexual boundaries.

Based on the book by Joyce Carol Oates, and starring Jérémie Renier, Marine Vacth, and Jacqueline Bisset, the story follows a young woman who falls in love and into a relationship with her trusted, devoted psychiatrist. Soon, however, she discovers hidden secrets about her partner and his past that threatens their bond and her very life. Here’s the official synopsis:

Crafting a deliriously cinematic web of suspense, shock, eroticism, and power dynamics, writer/director François Ozon (Swimming Pool) returns to master the thriller genre with Double Lover. In the new film, Ozon reunites with two actors whom he previously directed in breakout roles, Marine Vacth (Young & Beautiful) and Jérémie Renier (Criminal Lovers), now helming them in an intense exploration of a woman venturing into dangerous romance. Chloé, who works as a guard at a museum in Paris, seeks to shore up her resiliency and enters psychoanalysis. In Paul Meyer, the sensitive patient finds a caring psychiatrist who helps her overcome bouts with depression. Following the end of the treatment, both realize that they have fallen in love. A new chapter begins for Chloé when she and Paul move in together… …yet Chloé soon comes to believe that Paul is keeping a secret. She impulsively visits another psychiatrist, Louis Delord. Spiraling emotional and sexual stakes will push all three of them to extremes, forcing Chloé to take action in order to solve a mystery and save herself.

“Double Lover” opens on Valentine’s Day in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Phoenix, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore, Miami, Boca Raton, Chicago, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Oklahoma City, Pittsburgh, Albany, Albuquerque, Knoxville, Portland, Charlotte, and Ann Arbor.
