Dominique Marceau is accused of murdering her lover Gilbert Tellier. As the trial progresses, their tumultuous relationship is exposed, raising questions about whether the justice system is seeking to condemn her freedom of action rather than the acts she is accused of. Here, law rhymes with morality.
Henri-Georges Clouzot
Henri-Georges Clouzot was a French film director, screenwriter and producer. Clouzot is best remembered for his work in the thriller film genre, having directed The Wages of Fear (1953) and Diabolique (1955), which are critically recognized as among the greatest films of the 1950s. He also directed documentary films, including The Mystery of Picasso (1956), which was declared a national treasure by the government of France. Clouzot in one of four filmmakers, alongside Michelangelo Antonioni, Robert Altman and Jafar Panahi, to have won the top prizes at the major European film festivals, namely the Golden Lion (in Venice), the Palme d'Or (in Cannes) and the Golden Bear (in Berlin), although the latter two awards were given to the same film (The Wages of Fear), which is no longer possible today.
