La Triche presents itself as a crime film with all the classic ingredients of pacing and tension, murder and blackmail, but it is in fact a trompe-l’œil. In Bordeaux, a murder investigation draws us into another inquiry, more secret, of the love affair between a young musician and a bisexual police inspector “beyond all suspicion,” revealing a double identity. A reflection on the possible duality and multiplicity of human beings.
