L'Adversaire
2002 · Film · 129 min
Directed by Nicole Garcia
Based on the 2000 book of the same name by Emmanuel Carrère, it is inspired by the real-life story of Jean-Claude Romand. L'Adversaire's protagonist Jean-Marc Faure (Auteuil) pursues an imaginary career as a doctor of medicine in a plot more closely based on Romand's life and Carrère's book than was Laurent Cantet's 2001 film L'Emploi du Temps. The film was nominated for a Palme d'Or at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival.

The film is based on the novel with the same name by Emmanuel Carrère and it's one of my most favorite ones ever (with one of the most chilling ends). All of his other books are also worth reading. In a way for me the evil twin of La Moustache is L'Adversaire (The Adversary), which you can put in the true crime category, but on the other it would be too short-sighted and does no justice to the book.
