Les Diaboliques (1955). The back drop of this mystery classic is the analogy of the human condition in the film, portraying the decaying, depressing, and mean-spirited essence that is the human condition. Director Clouzot has helmed this wonderful movie perfectly, starting out a bit slow and then slowly building steam until it is almost unbearable. The two conniving women play their parts with antipodal aplomb, each able to fill the void in the other. The story itself was an incredible mystery with a suitable ending. The black and white film captured the essence of the movie, dark with a rotting sense of moral depletion. All in all a magnificent movie experience. Merci beaucoup.
