Part of the The Hitchcock Truffaut Season
Based on a novel by Charles Williams, this follows the Hitchcockian tradition of serio-comic romantic thrillers in which a man suspected of a crime enlists a woman to prove his innocence; here, the secretary (Ardant) of a Marseilles estate agent (Trintignant) investigates the murder of his wife’s lover. An eventful, labyrinthine narrative and Néstor Almendros’ elegant monochrome images evoke numerous earlier mysteries. - Geoff Andrew, Programmer-at-large, BFI Southbank
