About this event

Book tickets for two or more of our Claude Chabrol films in the same transaction to receive a discount! Two married lovers plot to murder their respective spouses. Inspired by a real fait divers - a brief, sensational crime story in a newspaper - Chabrol’s film sees regular collaborator Audran play opposite a fabulously oily Piccoli. Briefly banned in France for its proximity to a then-ongoing legal case, it is a caustic portrait of provincial suffocation and the twisted logic of desire.
