A Crime in Paradise (French: Un crime au paradis) is a 2001 French comedy film directed by Jean Becker, adapted by Sebastien Japrisot from the story by Sacha Guitry, and starring Jacques Villeret and Josiane Balasko.
Joseph Poacher "Jojo" and his wife Lucienne "Lulu", a nagging shrew and inveterate alcoholic, lead a married life for the less confrontational, in their farm located in a place called "Paradise".
One day, Jojo watches a story on television about a brilliant lawyer who has just achieved her twenty-fifth acquittal.
Through a set of very clever questions, Jojo tricks the lawyer into explaining how he could kill his wife, and still be able to get the extenuating circumstances.
Jojo then returns to "Paradise" and begins to organize, as directed by the lawyer, the staging of the "perfect crime".
