Product Description
Requiem pour une tueuse est un film français réalisé par Jérôme Le Gris. Le film conte l'histoire de Lucrèce, une tueuse à gages. Celle-ci, dont l'amour de l'opéra n'a d'égal que sa maîtrise de l'art des poisons, s'apprête à remplir un « contrat » délicat en Suisse, en plein festival d'Ermeux : là, se faisant passer pour une cantatrice, elle doit assassiner un baryton britannique, Alexander Child, qui fait obstacle à un projet d'oléoduc de la British Oil ; celle-ci, déboutée en justice lors du procès qui l'opposait au baryton, n'a en effet plus d'espoir que dans le meurtre du chanteur.
Mais Lucrèce doit affronter un adversaire de taille, car le contre-espionnage français a dépêché un agent, Rico, pour s'infiltrer lui-même dans l'orchestre et déjouer ainsi toute tentative contre la vie d'Alexander Child...
****Lucrèce is a contract killer in search of a new life. Specialized in the use of poisons and enamored with opera, she accepts a difficult, final hit in a castle in the heart of the Swiss Alps. Posing as a soprano, Lucrèce must perform on stage during the very prestigious Festival of Ermeux and slaughter one of her co-performers, British baritone Alexander Child, who recently bought a distillery in Scotland, and thus became the only obstacle to a strategic pipeline project with considerable financial ramifications. He just won a long legal battle against British Oil, who now has no other choice but to eliminate him. To complicate things, French counter-espionage learns of the hit and sends Rico, a reinstated former agent, to infiltrate the orchestra, unmask and terminate all who wish harm to Alexander Child. Rico has no information on the killer and has a lot of trouble identifying her amid a horde of suspicious characters: an obnoxious conductor, a particularly proud tenor and a strangely stressed festival director... Throughout rehearsals of Haendel's sublime Messiah, a breathless intrigue begins and could end in a Requiem...
