Stanislas Previne is a young sociologist, preparing a thesis on criminal women. He chooses Camille Bliss as his subject of study and begins to visit her in prison for interviews. Camille became acquainted with trouble at a young age and justifies her actions by "fate-bets." She is currently in prison for allegedly murdering one of her lovers. As she tells Stanislas of her life and love affairs, his interest in her grows to more than just professional. Can he resist her charm?

VIBE

A darkly alluring and unsettling character study. It's a slick, ironic, and often disturbing exploration of a charming sociopath's manipulative nature, wrapped in a stylish, almost romanticized package. The film feels like a dangerous, intellectual seduction.
