Review of The Flower of Evil (2003) by Simon T — 15 Jun 2017
Superbly acted late-Chabrol family drama, the plot of which unfurls gradually like a rose. As so often in his best works nothing is overstated, and only very slowly do we appreciate how manners, decorum and deception mask the truth.
I don't know why reviews are so mediocre for what I would champion - alongside La Ceremonie - as one of Chabrol's very best works.
