Madame Claude

Madame Claude (2021) is a French crime drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Sylvie Verheyde for Netflix. It traces the rise and fragile peak of the real Parisian woman who built a high-end escort empire in the late 1960s and used it to gather leverage over politicians, businessmen, and mobsters.

At its height, her network gave her a kind of unofficial power that no official title could match. Karole Rocher plays Claude with the cold composure of someone who has never let anyone see her sweat — and that composure is exactly what makes her frightening. When a young and wealthy rival, played by Garance Marillier, moves in on her territory, the cracks widen fast. Stream Madame Claude online on iFILM.
