Oh, Chabrol is fun. This raises more questions than it answers, but he creates such a lively, intriguing atmosphere of mystery that it’s a pure delight steadily building to the finish — and so what if the finish is just a little unsatisfying? The leads’ acting in the final moments more than make up for it, actually. Chabrol’s idea that he has to couch larger philosophical ideas in the form of a suspense thriller to make them palatable to a wide audience is sort of patronizing, but all the same it’s nice to have a fun sophisticated movie for once, something between Antonioni and Adam Sandler.
