The Blue Room/ La Chambre Bleue (2014)

A selection of the Cannes Film Festival, it is now streaming on Netflix.  In French, it is a story of Julien who is married to Ester but having an affair with Delphine.  As with most affairs, the fact that they can't have each other fully is pressure on Julien primarily to Do Something.  Julien receives a message:  You Now.

Most of the movie is done by flashback, as Julien is being investigated by the Magistrate to determine if there is a case against him.  The music gives it a Hitchcock feeling.  As the movie evolves we see exactly who Julien might be accused of murdering.

A nice, short (1 hour 15 min) crime, suspense story.  Written by Stephanie Clere, who also plays Ester.
