An unrecognized film by the great director Claude Chabrol, here in the final phase of his career. I do not understand the reason for the poor recognition of this great work. I found the film to be excellent in all aspects: a very interesting and mysterious story that "grabs" us from beginning to end, excellent movie rhythm, never monotony, extremely interesting dialogues, subtly humorous, ironic and relaxed, but at the same time hovering some tension in them, fantastic interpretations of the whole main cast, with a special highlight, of course, for Isabelle Huppert. As for the end of the film, could it possibly have been better achieved? It is a question that I still can not answer, as I am not yet sure of my opinion on this end. I am not referring to the fact that we never get to know who the son of the pianist really is and this mystery remains open. I even thought it was credible. I am referring to the outcome regarding the character of Isabelle Huppert (Mika). I do not think the ending is bad, far from it, but by the time I am writing these lines and having just seen the film a few minutes ago, I still have doubts about whether there could have been a more convincing conclusion. 8/10.
