Our take
In this sequel to Chabrol’s hugely popular Cop Au Vin, Inspector Lavardin once again dons his trademark trench coat and wicked smirk, ready to solve yet another rich person’s murder. This time, Catholic hypocrisies are on trial as the wintry coastal setting adds a soupçon of haunting melancholy.
