Synopsis

Not Chabrol's first class-conscious thriller, nor his first adaptation of a Ruth Rendell novel, but in The Bridesmaid, we find a more forgiving Chabrol tackling the nuclear family by way of Hitchcockian mystery. The rising action concerns an bourgeoisie family composed of two squabbling sisters (one about to marry), a "put on a happy face" mom (Aurore Clement), and a mildly incestuous son (Benoit Magimel), who falls for his sister''s sultry bridesmaid (Laura Smet). Sexually and narratively perverse, the film does not concern itself with the murder mystery aspects until you''re already engrossed. "Deceptively understated and finally ferocious film" (New York Times). Claude Chabrol---France/Germany/Italy---2004---110 mins.
