A good movie

I don't know why exactly, but I always been fascinated by this flick and I wanted to watch it for many years. Finally, I managed to get my hands on it and it was indeed a pretty decent thriller, a typical effort by Claude Chabrol. I don't think Claude Chabrol is really famous abroad, at least, not here in Listal. The guy actually had an impressive careers with a dozen of French classics with a career stretching from the New Wave until his death in 2010. He was a very prolific director and he has made around 50 movies (!). To be honest, I haven't seen so many of his flicks, only 7 or something, but I enjoyed all of them. Anyway, if you think you love French movies but have never heard of this guy, I would suggest to check his work. Coming back to our main subject, this movie was definitely not one of his best works but it was still a good watch. What makes this flick even more interesting is that it was originally a project developed by the great Henri-Georges Clouzot but he died before completing it. Of course, Emmanulle Beart was incredibly attractive back in those days and was perfect in this part. To be honest, in my opinion, the story was a little too pedestrian for my taste but it was absolutely entertaining enough. To conclude, I thought it was a pretty good thriller and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in French movies.
