Review

Oh wow… this is it!
This is not a legend : after reading Pierre Boileau’s novel, Alfred Hitchcock phone the editor in the morning to buy the story for making a film. But another great master, Henri-Georges Clouzot, had phone 30 minutes earlier. Mister Hitchcock was angry! But Hitch couldn’t have done better than Clouzot. This is P-E-R-F-E-C-T! The black and white, the dialogues, the acting and even the reclusive French scool of the 1950’s. And for the suspense… well every viewer of IMDB had said the same things I could said. So, Diaboliques is the best suspense thriller of all time, and also one of the best movie ever made. Please, I really said please, don’t ever watch the remake with Isabelle Adjani and Sharon Stone. There are certains movies that you can’t make two times. Like all the Hitchcock and Clouzot films, for example…
Please Wait…
