Viewing Notes
An excellent character study in the guise of a courtroom drama where the “truth” isn’t the what, where, or how, rather the why.
Gorgeous cinematography from the opening scene on and an outstanding, multifaceted performance from Brigitte Bardot as Dominique Marceau. Clouzot does a great job of using her sexuality in the role without ever exploiting her, allowing her character to be fully realized.
