sharp, clear, and enigmatic, 17 July 2004
7/10
Author: allthumbs from hershey pa

great payoff movie is disconcerting.

jeanne moreau is a widowed anti-heroine who wants revenge for the death of her husband moments after their wedding ceremony.

after a failed attempt at suicide, moreau goes after the killers. she's a diabolical schemist.

as she meets each member of the responsible group, she finds an opening to lure them to their deadly fate.

OK, we know she meets them all. and truffaut let's everyone in on the mystery about halfway through.

there are some plot holes here as moreau goes about her deadly business. even so, the homage to hitchcock allusion is on target as demented retribution yields plot twist on plot twist.

the final twist makes the wait worthwhile.

truffaut's aspect on women chasers is a downer, though. i don't see how it serves plot development.

raoul coutard's cinematography and the editing make the "look" of the film riveting.
