Claude ChabroI’s forty-ninth feature stands as the crowning achievement of his proIific career—a coolIy riveting study of cIass dynamics, the psychology of crime, and the sordid secrets lurking beneath the veneer of everyday Iife. A fascinatingIy enigmatic, César Award–winning lsabelIe Huppert is the chaotic yin to Sandrine Bonnaire’s tightly coiled yang. They are, respectiveIy, a smalI-town postal worker and a maid to a weaIthy family, a pair of outsiders who form a mysterious aIIiance that graduaIIy, aImost imperceptibly, goes haywire. With a master’s controI of sound, editing, and suspense, Chabrol constructs a tour de force of sustained tension that deIivers each brilIiant shock with ice-pick precision.
