Review by Andy Mckay on 14th April 2004

An on-form Huppert in what is almost a dress rehearsal for her role in The Piano Teacher. Here, she plays a cold and resentful matriarch in an effective study of love, hate, jealousy and all points in between. Possibly Chabrol's most effective movie for a long time, Huppert confirms her status as contender for best actress alive today, with effective support from Jacques Dutronc who continues to deliver some very good performances (Place Vendome for example).

An artful thriller, well worth a look.
