'Dites-lui que je l'aime' (English: 'Tell Her I Love Her') is a 1977 French film directed by Claude Miller and starring Grard Depardieu and Miou-Miou. It is based on the 1961 novel 'This Sweet Sickness' by Patricia Highsmith.
Plot
David Martinaud is an accountant who leaves town for the weekends on the pretense that he is going to his native home to care for his parents, who are in fact dead. He is really fixing up a chalet, where he intends to move in with Lise, a woman he has loved since childhood - even though Lise is married to another man and has a child. Nevertheless, David begins stalking her, intent on making her love him by any means necessary.
