I was wondering whether anybody knows the title of the other movie based on the same story?
I think it was a French movie as well, but I'm not too sure.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Already got an answer. It's:
L'Emploi du temps

There was another Spanish movie based on the same story. It's called "La vida de nadie".
shareL'Emploi du temps is loosely based on the same subject, but does not include the criminal element of the story : it is basically about a professional man, struggling to hide to his family that he has lost his job, and progressively caught into the web of his own lies. But he doesn't kill anybody.
shareHaving seen all three movies on the subject, "L'adversaire" is the one that most closely follows the actual story. It's a great film although slightly too drawn out for my taste. Auteuil is brilliant though.
"L'emploi du temps" focuses more one man's horror of corporate life with a strong emphasis on his relationship with his father. An interesting take on the story with a great twist at the end (see it for yourself and think).
The film I liked most of the three is "La vida de nadie" (Nobody's life), the Spanish adaptation. It is somewhat a half-way house between the two French films in terms of sticking with the real life event. Great story, great acting and very memorable.
