Review of Le Corbeau (1943) by Ben W — 08 Mar 2010
A psychological thriller from the master of the genre, henri-george clouzot. banned in its day and for the years following, this occupation era film drew a line that made itself distinguished between the gestapo tactics and the resistance mentality, both.
a small town tries to cope under the threat of poison-pen letters being sent to all in the town, revealing that someone knows all their indiscretions. everyone predictably turns on each other. but thats the great thing about clouzot movies.
they are suspenseful and entertaining, but they often have some texture, something to dig into thematically.
