About Murder in the Building (2026) — A Crime-Comedy Where Life Imitates Hitchcock
When a cynical crime novelist's real life feels more like a dull detective novel gone wrong, his partner's Hitchcock obsession becomes the perfect catalyst for chaos.
Rémi Bezançon's *Murder in the Building (2026)* blends sharp wit with Hitchcockian suspense, following François—a reclusive writer who crafts dashing mysteries under his nom de plume, Marquis la Rose—but whose own existence is trapped in pajamas and writer's block. His partner, Colette, a Sorbonne professor lost in the thrills of classic cinema, grows impatient with his stagnation, setting the stage for a darkly comedic clash between fiction and reality. As suspicions simmer and Hitchcockian tension mounts, François must confront whether his next masterpiece is a novel… or an unscripted crime thriller. With a stellar cast led by Gilles Lellouche and Laetitia Casta, this crime-comedy-drama promises a stylish, meta twist on the genre.
Expect razor-sharp dialogue, a dash of marital farce, and the kind of suspense that lingers long after the credits roll.
