Synopsis
Criminal Lovers (Les amants criminels, 1999) is a French thriller from François Ozon you can watch online — a queasy mix of teenage desire and fairy-tale horror. Alice talks her devoted boyfriend Luc into killing a classmate. The deed is done, the body buried in the woods, and then nothing goes the way the two of them planned.
Lost among the trees like Hansel and Gretel gone wrong, the pair stumbles onto a hunter's cottage. The hulking owner (Miki Manojlović) locks them in his cellar and flips the script: the predators are now the prey. Natacha Régnier and Jérémie Renier play kids whose game of love and murder snaps shut around them.
Ozon turns a storybook setup into a cold study of want and control, all dirt, hunger and blood. If you like early European arthouse with no interest in good taste, this one lands hard. Stream Criminal Lovers (1999) online on iFILM.
