Arsène Lupin is a 2004 film directed by Jean-Paul Salomé, and starring Romain Duris, Eva Green, Kristin Scott Thomas, Mathieu Carrière and Pascal Greggory among others.
The film follows Arsène Lupin from a small boy through the death of his father and his later years when he meets the strange woman, Josephine, who appears to be immortal and uses a hypnotic drug to enslave people to her will. Arsène's ethos is to steal from the rich and deserving crooks. In this film he comes up against two parties, a secret society and Josephine, who are intent on gathering three crucifixes which will reveal the secret of a lost treasure.
The film references many of the classic Arsène Lupin stories by Maurice Leblanc, including The Arrest of Arsène Lupin, The Queen's Necklace, Sherlock Holmes Arrives Too Late, 813, and The Countess Of Cagliostro. Some of these references are more direct and complete then others.
It is a co-production of France, Spain, Italy and the UK.
