consider by many to be a strangely overlook chabrol it seem to me the reason it have be cold shoulder be it sleaze factor . not a overtly sexy and violent or gory a many film of this period it nevertheless start rather startlingly and although become more measured continue to ooze a rather unpleasant odour . m audran and not here the ice maiden but a drunken mother and donald pleasence do a cameo a a child molester and david hemmings have his eye on underage sex and the central theme involve the relationship between a brother and sister and niece . no not very nice at all and chabrol treat it all a if it be very normal ( like it might be in some small french village . ) instead of ed mcbain new york city . have this be treat in a more sensational manner then it would have be a more acceptable but less film . here we really have to choose between the likelihood of various unpleasant option before the final denouement . very watchable .
