Our take

Chabrol’s fiftieth feature delivers two of the utmost cinematic pleasures: cunning scams and La Huppert double-crossing men in gorgeous outfits. Packed with off-kilter characters and dark humor, with a side of Hitchcockian perversity, this is a delicious milestone for the master of the genre film.
