La Femme infidèle
From the heart of Chabrol's golden period comes one of the most sinuous of his dissections of the underbelly of French bourgeois life. Murder is a random consequence of adultery in this exploration of the complex loyalties and betrayals of married life. This is Chabrol at his ironic best, leavening cynicism with a humane view of human complexity. A master-class in post-Hitchcockian slow-burning tension.
