This modern retelling of Hansel and Gretel follows young, outcast siblings on the road to bury the body of a classmate they just murdered, before they end up prisoners of a malicious hermit in the woods. Criminal Lovers (Les Amants Criminels), which debuted in 1999, explores the teenage tropes of sex and death as seen through the eyes of lost, well-to-do French children.
