La vérité

I did not know this movie, and made by one of the greatest French director ever: Henri George Clouzot. And also starring great actors such as Charles Vanel, Brigitte Bardot...This movie did not hold my attention so far...I did not think it could interest me. But my wife talked about it and I decided to try. It is not as intellectual as I thought, the reason why I avoided it since so many years. Acting is mindblowing, terrific and the flashback element is not annoying at all. It was made just during the Nouvelle Vague era, doesn't seem to belong to it. Brigitte Bardot claimed that she loved this film, the only one which she was proud of, despite the fact that Clouzot pushed her and her co stars so far that she tried to commit suicide after the shooting.
