Review of The Bride Wore Black (1968) by Stephen C — 19 Nov 2007
The wave of French Directors of the 50s and 60s were in awe of film makers such as Howard Hawks and John Ford.
Her Truffaut pays homage to his favourite Director Alfred Hitchcock ,who he had interviewed during the 60s.
The film is a classic revenge story of a woman who goes after a group of men who killed her Husband.
The template for Kill Bill is here but with more French Class to it as Truffaut like his compatriot Chabrol keeps the thriller element chugging along nicely.
It also Helps to have A score by Bernard Herrman who until a massive falling out was Hitchcocks musical collaberator on several films and who would later go on to work with Brian DePalma And Martin Scorsese.
If you think French films are all arty Nonsense then check out this great little movie and change your view.
