Has Chabrol ever made a film that's anything less than a minor masterpiece? Not that I've seen. Of course, here in the US we have to struggle to see them all, and I haven't. But movies like Les Cousins or Landru or Alice and now this one stay with me. His direction is so agile, so full of wit and surprise. This old master has all the youth and spontaneity of today's new-realists, plus the warmth of a lifetime of experience. I couldn't stop chuckling at his droll sleight-of-hand as he led us through the twists of his story -- and kept us in the dark about his two main characters' relationship. And he wrote it too!
