Another French one. Apparently the director, Claude Chabrol, is sort of a big deal, though I'd never heard of him. Clinical detachment seems to be the aim here, but it's just too tastefully restrained to hold my attention. There also seems to be no actual comedy. Maybe that's what's funny? Color me confused. But the heroine, a crusading judge played by Isabelle Huppert, is an aging-but-sexy little chain-smoking dominatrix who has her way with the camera.
