This may be the most emotionally-captivating film I have ever seen. I love a film where the man and the woman are ideal for each other, but circumstances interfere with their realizing the gift of complete union life is offering them.
For me, this is Chabrol's finest film and one of my top-10 favorite films of all time. Other Chabrol masterpieces include La Femme Infidele; Les Femmes; Le Boucher; and Les Biches.
It bothers me that Michel and Caroline are now gone from our world. They mesmerize me with their sensitive portrayal of the character each depicted, and rarely have I seen two people on screen with such a compelling chemistry as these two had in spades.
A great film-watching experience stays with you for YEARS after you have seen it, albeit many times in the case of this film.
The sad ending bothers me no end, but this film is akin to the reality of an imperfect world, not diversion from the real world into cinematic fantasy.
Thank you Mon. Chabrol, for all the joy and heartache you shared with your public.
