Now on DVD: The Art of Crime: The Complete First Five Seasons

IN FRENCH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES
A hot-headed and uncultured cop, Captain Antoine Verlay (Nicolas Gob, A French Village, Chefs) gets assigned against his will to the Central Office for the Fight against Trafficking in Cultural Goods and teams up with wildly imaginative art historian Florence Chassagne (Eléonore Bernheim, Murder In…) to solve art-related murder cases. Good thing they have Florence’s art historian father (Philippe Duclos, Spiral) in the wings for consultation. Through their intriguing investigations they delve into the history of great artists and follow in the footsteps of renowned masters such as Claude Monet, Jerome Bosch, Gustave Courbet, Théodore Géricault, Edgar Degas, Vincent Van Gogh, Henri Toulouse-Lautrec and Eugène Delacroix, to name a few… The cases lead them through the spectacular cultural landscape of Paris: the Louvre Museum, the Musée d’Orsay, the forecourt of the Hôtel de Ville, the Buttes Chaumont park, the Place Vendôme, the Opera Garnier and many more emblematic locations. The unlikely duo learns that the key to understanding the crimes lies in the works of art themselves. They also learn they can no longer do without each other… to solve the investigations. But to consider that they’re made for each other seems unthinkable – most of the time. Love and art intertwine deliciously in the first five seasons of The Art of Crime.
