Les biches (1968)
(The Does)
Country: FR/IT
Technical: Eastmancolor/1.66:1 99m
Director: Claude Chabrol
Cast: Stéphane Audran, Jacqueline Sassard, Jean-Louis Trintignant
Synopsis:
A rich woman shares her St Tropez villa with a local artist, but they are distracted by a handsome architect whom the owner invites to move in with them. Powerplay and jealousy ensue, with tragic consequences.
Review:
Chabrol's comeback film after nearly a decade of commercial projects was this sapphic psychodrama with modernist pretensions (the artist's name is 'Why'). Chabrol draws sensual performances from his wife and the young Sassard, and Jean Rabier's cinematography is ravishing indeed.
