Story-line: Hélène and Charles live in a
magnificent house, are happy together and dearly love their son Michel. But is
their marriage as perfect as it seems?
Pluses:
sparkling dialogues
and acting, a fresh take on infidelity, excellent pacing, odd touches here and

Minuses:
none really.
Comments:
some movies waste no time in drawing you in… and this is exactly what LA FEMME
INFIDÈLE manages to do. Marvel at Claude Chabrol’s measured, psychology-driven
filmmaking. Quality entertainment for movie buffs!
