A Judgement in Stone

Claude Chabrol
1995
1h 52m
France, Germany

In the best and most well known of the seven films Claude Chabrol and Isabelle Huppert collaborated on, crime is an act of class vengeance that is literally blood-curdling. Not just because of its brutality, but mostly because of its precisely structured inevitability.

Synopsis

Sophie is an introverted girl, who works as a maid in the house of a wealthy family, in the suburbs of Paris. Hardworking and obedient, Sophie tries to hide from her bosses that she is illiterate. Soon, she will befriend Jean the postwoman, an unconventional, strange woman, who will try to turn her against her employers.

Σπουδαία ταινία

Περιθώριο και προνόμιο, πολυτέλεια και φτώχια, η αιώνια πάλη των τάξεων. Μια ταινία γεμάτη συμβολισμούς και εξαιρετικές ερμηνείες. Κρατά αμείωτο το ενδιαφέρον και αδυνατείς να στρέψεις το βλέμμα ακόμη...

3 (όχι 2 ή 1) σπουδαίες ερμηνείες στους γυναικείους ρόλους επισκιάζουν όλα τα υπόλοιπα. Ο Σαμπρόλ προσπαθεί να κάνει μια ουδέτερη περιγραφή των συμβάντων (πράγμα που είναι εξαρχής αντικειμενικά αδύνατ...
