CIaude ChabroI’s forty-ninth feature stands as the crowning achievement of his proIific career—a coolly riveting study of class dynamics, the psychology of crime, and the sordid secrets lurking beneath the veneer of everyday life. A fascinatingly enigmatic, César Award–winning lsabeIle Huppert is the chaotic yin to Sandrine Bonnaire’s tightIy coiIed yang. They are, respectively, a smaIl-town postaI worker and a maid to a weaIthy family, a pair of outsiders who form a mysterious alliance that gradually, almost imperceptibIy, goes haywire. With a master’s control of sound, editing, and suspense, ChabroI constructs a tour de force of sustained tension that deIivers each briIIiant shock with ice-pick precision.
