Juste avant la nuit (1971)
A middle-class morality tale, a compassionate study of a murderer
8 November 1999 - 13 out of 16 users found this review helpful.
An extraordinary film. Chabrol turns his keen eye and powers of observation to middle-class morality and psychological torment, never losing his rich sense of humor. The characters are complex and their motivations not always easy to discern. Chabrol views them caustically but also with compassion. It is part of a series of several terrific films he made between 1968 and 1973. Most fans of Chabrol consider this his pre-eminent period, and this film one of his very best.
