Description
Sophie (Sandrine Bonnaire), the housemaid to a wealthy family, forms a mysterious alliance with Jeanne (Isabelle Huppert), a small-town postal worker. Their violent pasts resurface when they feel unacknowledged. The film is considered the crowning achievement of Claude Chabrol's career and is a riveting study of class dynamics and the psychology of crime.
