Superb, unnerving film about four young Parisian women and their desires for and experiences with the opposite sex.
'60's New Wave director Claude Chabrol (Les Cousins, Le Boucher) was one of the best and crafted his films with deliberate care -he takes everyday events, adds something sinister and builds on that dreadful feeling- understanding that character developement and pacing are most crucial for a thriller and it makes Les Bonnes Femmes a haunting experience.
There's evidence of his influence in directors like DePalma and even in John Carpenter's Halloween but he's the master and only ranks a notch higher than Hitchcock because he doesn't button-push so overtly.
A great film that also features the dazzling beauty of the young Stephane Audran and packs a punch missing in most other suspense tales.
