Read My Lips - Film.(2001).

The triple award-winner at the 2002 Csar Awards Read My Lips was also awarded the Best Actress and Best Director award at the 2002 Newport International Film Festival.

Read My Lips is a neo-noir thriller about the unexpected relationship between a lonely, mousy secretary and a street-savvy ex-con. The story revolves around Carla Behm (Emmanuelle Devos) a shy, overworked, underappreciated receptionist/secretary at a Parisian property development firm who did like to be a deal-maker but her serious hearing problem has made her socially inexperienced and timid. When she's told to hire a secretarial assistant, she chooses an unlikely candidate, a handsome but coarse former thief named Paul Angeli (Vincent Cassel) who has no office experience. To compensate for her partial deafness, Carla's learned to read lips - a skill which intrigues the criminally inclined Paul - and the tortuous, twisting plot revolves around how they complement and exploit one another.
