A Girl Cut in Two - La fille coupée en deux (2007)
Synopsis
Claude Chabrol, with nearly 60 features behind him, is at the top of his game with this mordant social satire, filled with unforgettably nasty characters and inspired by the sensational Gilded Age shooting of architect Stanford White.
A jaded novelist competes with the bizarrely unstable heir to a Lyon pharmaceutical fortune for the affections of a luscious TV weather girl.
Chabrol skewers the pretensions of literati and haute bourgeois alike and, although the inevitable crime of passion is committed late in the movie, it’s evident that what we have really been watching is the gradual murder of a soul. —New York Film Festival
