Rien Ne Va Plus (aka The Swindle) (1997)

A father (Michel Serrault) and daughter (Isabelle Huppert) operate as small time con artists preying on traveling businessmen but staying under the radar by taking no more than their victims can afford. But when the daughter hooks a big fish (Francois Cluzet) linked to international money trafficking, they find themselves over their heads. Written and directed by Claude Chabrol (LE BEAU SERGE), this is a clever black comedy where you never know who's swindling who as five million Swiss francs are at stake. Huppert and Serrault are wonderful and appealing actors which is a good thing because the grifters they are playing are unlikable and morally reprehensible, enough so that I couldn't find much sympathy for them even when they were in great danger of losing their lives. The only real flaw I found in the film is that the "corporation" they were swindling were too razor sharp in their understanding of con artists to fall victim to the final scam that occurs. Other than that a fun and towards the end, a very intense experience. With Jean Francois Balmer and Henri Attal.
