About This Movie

The Adversary is a 2002 mystery and drama film directed by Nicole Garcia. Its leading cast includes Daniel Auteuil, Géraldine Pailhas and François Cluzet. It runs for 2 hours 9 minutes. Its original language is French.

Synopsis

Based on the 2000 book of the same name by Emmanuel Carrère, it is inspired by the real-life story of Jean-Claude Romand. L'Adversaire's protagonist Jean-Marc Faure (Auteuil) pursues an imaginary career as a doctor of medicine in a plot more closely based on Romand's life and Carrère's book than was Laurent Cantet's 2001 film L'Emploi du Temps. The film was nominated for a Palme d'Or at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival.
