French melodrama loses direction
The Flower of Evil
Claude Chabrol
Nathalie Baye, Suzanne Flon, Thomas Chabrol, Bernard Le Coq.
A solid French melodrama which, sadly, loses its direction towards the end. The theme is ambition - Baye wishes to become the Mayor of her small town and to do so neglects other aspects of her life - and the revealing of family secrets better left undisturbed.
Merely OK.
1/5
