| User ReviewRené SCatherine Deneuve, how do I love you? Let me count the ways! No, seriously-It's a scintillating tour de force. No, REALLY seriously--She's a shady, alcoholic Jewelress! She's like the aftermath of a Russian novel! LOVE! |
| User ReviewCarmen FDeneuve is absolutely brilliant in this film, and this is actually one of my favorite films of all time. This is an awesome suspense piece and it matches some of Claude Chabrol's works. It really makes me wish Deneuve would work with Chabrol. |
