Celebrating 95 years of the legendary detective, new big screen adaptation Maigret and the Dead Lover plays at the 34th French Film Festival UK this month, and is released on Blu-ray, DVD & Digital from 14th December.

Synopsis:
In this atmospheric new adaptation, a former French ambassador has been carrying out a five decade affair with a recently widowed princess, and is found murdered at the Quai d’Orsay. The only evidence found is a series of suggestive letters between the two. Policeman Jules Maigret is tasked with discreetly investigating the matter, but soon discovers that some secrets will never stay buried.

Based on the iconic novels by Georges Simenon, Maigret and the Dead Lover is a brand new film starring four time César Award nominee Denis Podalydès (Hidden, The Conquest) in a tremendous performance as Jules Maigret. The film is written and directed by three time César Award nominee Pascal Bonitzer (Auction, Spellbound) marking the 95th anniversary of the legendary detective.
