Das Blut der Anderen

In 1838, in Paris, Hélène Bertrand (Jodie Foster) is the young and talented designer of the dress shop owned by Gigi (Stéphane Audran). Her "sister" Yvonne (Marie Bunel) works with her sewing dresses and her boyfriend is Paul (Lambert Wilson), who is involved in political movements. When Hélène meets Paul's friend Jean Blomart (Michael Ontkean), she has a crush on him. Soon she seduces him, and they become lovers. When Paris is occupied by the Nazis, Jean goes to the front and is wounded and becomes POW. Gigi becomes a collaborator, and her major client is the German Dieter Bergman (Sam Neill), who falls in unrequited love with Hélène. She uses Bergman to bring Jean back to Paris, where he becomes leader of the underground resistance. He believes Hélène might be a collaborator, but she will do anything to prove her loyalty to France to her lover.

"The Blood of Others" (1984) is a romance by Claude Chabrol about love in time of war. This film is underestimated by critics and viewers, since the story is not bad, with beautiful costumes and location, and a great cast. Maybe the only but is the movie spoken in English, instead of French and German. The English language is weird throughout the story. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Domínio Cruel" ("Cruel Domain")
