Les Diaboliques (1955)

Posted on 05:02 by uthpa
Highly Recommended
France
Feature Film
Original Title: Les diaboliques
Director: Henri-Georges Clouzot
Writers: Henri-Georges Clouzot, Jérôme Géronimi, Frédéric Grendel, René Masson, Pierre Boileau, Thomas Narcejac
Cinematographer: Armand Thirard
Composer: Georges Van Parys
Cast: Simone Signoret, Vera Clouzot, Paul Meurisse, Charles Vanel, Jean Brochard, Pierre Larquey, Michel Serrault, Thérèse Dorny, Noël Roquevert, Yves-Marie Maurin

The wife and mistress of an abusive boarding school headmaster conspire to murder him, making it look like an accidental drowning, but when the body disappears its whereabouts causes tensions to rise, in Clouzot’s outstanding suspense thriller; a Hitchcockian gem, filled with thrills, shocks, laughter, and a great deal of humanity (in all its various forms).
