Read My Lips 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray presents Jacques Audiard’s breakthrough crime thriller in a director-approved UHD edition. Released in 2001, this taut and intimate noir pairs Emmanuelle Devos—winner of the César Award for Best Actress—with Vincent Cassel in a charged story of loneliness, power, and moral compromise. Devos stars as Carla, a hard-of-hearing office worker whose life is transformed when she hires Paul, an ex-convict drawn back into criminal schemes. Using Carla’s lip-reading ability as both narrative device and emotional lens, Audiard crafts a gripping thriller that blends suspense with sharply observed character study. Supervised by Audiard and cinematographer Mathieu Vadepied, this new 4K restoration enhances the film’s immersive sound design and raw visual intensity, reaffirming Read My Lips as a defining work of early-2000s French cinema.
