Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne
An absorbing and bizarre melodrama with literary roots and a steep filmic pedigree. Written by Robert Bresson and Jean Cocteau, it's a tale of a woman scorned who takes a bitter romantic revenge. María Casarès is
haunting as the serene, smiling viper with nefarious plans; the film casts a very strange spell.
