Ma vie volée (Identity Theft : The Michelle Brown Story) est un téléfilm canadien réalisé par Robert Dornhelm et diffusé le 1er novembre 2004 sur Lifetime.

Le scénario, qui traite de l'usurpation d'identité, est fondé sur une histoire vraie. Cette histoire fit jurisprudence en la matière et poussa le législateur américain à renforcer sa position : Michelle Brown se présenta devant une commission parlementaire, soutenue par l'association Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, afin de parler de l'expérience traumatisante qu'elle venait de vivre. Grâce à son témoignage, les lois contre l'usurpation d'identité, qui concerne 7 millions de personnes par an aux États-Unis, furent renforcées.

Synopsis

Michelle Brown s'apprête à acheter la maison de ses rêves ; un jour, elle apprend qu'une femme, Connie Volkos, a usurpé son identité pour mieux dilapider son argent et mener une vie qu'elle ne pourrait pas s'offrir ; Connie développe également une fascination malsaine pour sa victime. Un combat commence alors pour Michelle où elle doit sans cesse se justifier et prouver qu'elle est la véritable Michelle Brown. Un jour, à court d'argent, Connie est arrêtée pour trafic de drogue, puis relâchée sous caution, mais c'est Michelle qui risque d'aller en prison à sa place.

Tom Ripley is a young man struggling to make a living in 1950s New York City using his "talents"—forgery, lying and impersonation. While playing piano at a cocktail party in New York City, he is approached by wealthy shipbuilder Herbert Greenleaf, who mistakenly believes that Ripley went to Princeton with his son, Dickie, because Ripley is wearing a borrowed Princeton blazer. Greenleaf recruits Ripley to travel to Italy and persuade Dickie to return to the United States, for which he will pay Ripley $1,000 (equivalent to $8 804 in 2015). Ripley accepts the proposal, even though he did not attend Princeton and has never met Dickie.

Hossain Sabzian is a cinephile, and in particular a big fan of popular Iranian director Mohsen Makhmalbaf. One day, Sabzian is riding a bus with a copy of the novel The Cyclist; Mrs. Ahankhah sits next to him, revealing she is a fan of the novel's film adaptation. Sabzian tells her that he himself is Makhmalbaf, the maker. She is then surprised that a famous director would ride public transportation; Sabzian explains in response (posing as Makhmalbaf) that he finds his film subjects this way, telling her that art must spring from life. Posing as Makhmalbaf from this point on, Sabzian visits the Ahankhah family several times over the next two weeks. He flatters them by saying he wants to use not only their house in his next film, but also their sons as actors in it. He even obtains a substantial amount of money from them (ostensibly to prepare for the film). Mr. Ahankhah has his suspicions, however, especially when a magazine photo shows a younger Makhmalbaf with darker hair than that of Sabzian. He invites a journalist (Hossain Farazmand) over, who confirms Sabzian is indeed an impostor. The police come to arrest Sabzian, while Farazmand takes several pictures for his upcoming article: "Bogus Makhmalbaf Arrested." Kiarostami intersperses these scenes throughout the film, in which the events described above do not progress chronologically; they are re-enactments.
