A man accidentally kills his mistress and returns to his ordinary life, waiting, with mounting dread, to be found out. But nobody seems to be looking – and his wife has good reason for wanting him to remain quiet.
Claude Chabrol’s most pitiless examination of bourgeois self-preservation is a film in which the real horror lies not in guilt but in the ease with which it can be absorbed.
