The Bait (French: L'Appât) is a 1995 French film directed by Bertrand Tavernier about two boys and a girl who commit a murder, with the girl acting as a 'bait'.

The film is based on the 1990 book of the same name by Morgan Sportès, which is in turn based on the "Valérie Subra affair", a true event that happened in 1984.

Synopsis

Une jeune femme sert d'« appât » en boîtes de nuit, faisant semblant d'être séduite et permettant, comme le cheval de Troie, à ses acolytes de s'introduire chez sa proie une fois qu'il la ramène chez lui. D'abord conçu afin de réaliser des cambriolages, ce scénario tourne à la torture et à la folie sanguinaire.

Lucien Cordier (Philippe Noiret) is an ineffectual local constable with a cheating wife and laughable job.

Michel Descombes (Philippe Noiret) est horloger dans le quartier de Saint-Paul à Lyon. Un matin, deux policiers se présentent à son atelier et le questionnent sur son fils, sans vouloir lui dire ce qui est arrivé. Il est immédiatement accompagné hors de Lyon sur le lieu où sa camionnette a été retrouvée, vide. Là, le commissaire Guilboud (Jean Rochefort) lui apprend que son fils a tué un homme. Tout au long de l'enquête l'incompréhension entre père et fils se manifeste. Le fils en cavale est arrêté avec sa compagne, et ne s'explique que confusément sur son acte. Peu à peu, Michel se solidarise avec son fils (ce qu'il proclamera d'ailleurs lors du procès). Des échanges de propos anodins dans l'anonymat du parloir montrent, à la fin du film, qu'une véritable connivence s'est installée.

The film is about the French film industry from 1942 to 1944 during the Nazi occupation. The film focuses on assistant director and resistance fighter Jean Devaivre and screenwriter Jean Aurenche. Aurenche is on the move so that he doesn't have to write anything collaborationist. Devaivre is in dangerous political activity. Devaivre also works for the German production company Continental Films, where he is respected. On the other hand, Aurenche's scriptwriting doesn't help how he lives and he is a womanizer which causes him to procrastinate.
