“Love Crime” is the last film made by French director Alain Corneau, who died last year. He’s best known on this side of the world for “Tous les matins du monde,” a fictionalized portrait of Baroque composer Marin Marais, portrayed as an old and young man by Gerard Depardieu and his son (now also deceased) Guillaume. But don’t let the age of the filmmaker or the setting of his best-known film make you think that Corneau can’t possibly know anything about contemporary life. “Love Crime” is a delicious thriller about women in the workplace, women who have learned to be just as vicious as the most cutthroat men.
