A good movie

A couple of years ago, Claude Chabrol passed away. Even he wasn’t really famous abroad, the guy actually had an impressive career and he was responsible for at least a dozens of French classics. If you think you love French movies but have never heard of him, I would suggest to check his work. Anyway, this movie doesn’t really belong to his best work but it was still a good watch nonetheless. Basically, it is a typical Chabrol feature dealing with his usual themes such as the middle-class, obsessive relationships and murder. Another neat thing with this flick was too see a very young Laura Smet at the very beginning of her career. Maybe you have never heard of Smet but it is actually the real name of Johnny Hallyday, an icon in France , basically the French Elvis Presley and her mother is also Nathalie Baye, one of the most famous French actresses. Anyway, I thought that Laura Smet was pretty good here and I wonder how her career turned out to be. To conclude, even though it is nothing really amazing, I thought it was still a pretty good thriller and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in French movies.
