My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

La Femme Infidele (1969)

Claude Chabrol knows how to construct suspenseful thrillers.  Here he follows a husband who discovers his wife is cheating on him.  What transpired was remade by Adrian Lyne as Unfaithful.   I love the remake and was delighted to see that the original holds up just fine.  This is a really good film if a tad bit dated.    If you like Chabrol’s other films you’ll love this one, it’s a slyly told cautionary tale.  Grade: B+
