A Class Act of Murder
By a customer from Leyland , 24 Jan 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
The slowest of slow-burning thrillers - more of a study in character than a straightforward thriller. The subtleties of performance and the lack of external emotion in these characters' lives makes it feel more English than French. Respectable middle class Parisian, Michel Bouquet suspects his wife, Stephane Audran, of having an affair and eventually has his suspicions proven. So far, so French; however, the nuances of restricted emotion and the lack of visible passion make this a film where the real emotion and character motivation are all under the surface. Feels a bit like Brief Encounter with just a splash of blood. The longeurs are occasionally a little too long but the film holds the attention for most of its 94 minutes. You do want to know how it all turns out.- Was this review helpful to you?

By cynthiainherts (27 reviews) from Herts, UK , 07 Jan 2012...gratuitous sex to pad the story? Not Chabrol.
Excellent film, lovely to look at and hard to believe it's over 40 years old.
Timeless story and talent!- Was this review helpful to you?

Ka Femme Infidele
By a customer from London , 20 Feb 2009Rather too deadpan matter of fact it lacked involvement . The betrayal infidelity of the bored rich wife and the husband's simmering jealousy just didnt get investigated .. gave an impression of a cold pair and so what! The film was a disappointment though watchable but there wasnt enough tension or drama.- Was this review helpful to you?

la femme infidele
By a customer from Darlington , 22 Dec 2008Made in 1968, for some weird reason this film is now presented in wide screen format,which is achieved by stretching the frame sideways. As a result the characters all appear as squat little figures with round faces in a distorted background. This so ugly I switched off after 10 minutes.- Was this review helpful to you?
