The Chameleon Slayer

Pattern never changes. She finds lonely, anonymous, almost invisible women doing menial jobs, becomes their friend and confidante and then kills them and takes their identity, their job and their apartment. Police investigator Judith Corel serves as bait in an attempt to trap the chameleon killer.

Directed by Josée Dayan, The Chameleon Slayer leans on a strong ensemble — Catherine Frot, Jeanne Balibar, Julie Depardieu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2015.
