The most Hitchcockean director to surf the famous French New Wave of cinema, the literate, brilliant, now-gone Claude Chabrol provides a last masterwork in a blithely casual, rather Altman-like manner. The plot, a holiday ramble of murder suspects and erotic hooks in pretty Nimes, France, stars Gérard Depardieu as the …
