The Bait (French: L'Appât), also known as Fresh Bait, is a 1995 French film directed by Bertrand Tavernier about two boys and a girl who commit a murder, with the girl acting as a 'bait'.
The film is based on the 1990 book of the same name by Morgan Sportès, which is in turn based on the "Valérie Subra affair", a true event that happened in 1984.
The film won the Golden Bear Award at the 45th Berlin International Film Festival.
Gillain was nominated for the César Award for Most Promising Actress.
