A murder mystery in an old mansion in Germany’s Black Forest directed by one of the greats of French film noir?
The look of the movie is ravishing, its spectacular, mist-shrouded settings shot in crystalline black-and-white. The terrific cast includes Édith Scob ( Eyes without a Face ) and Jean-Claude Brialy. The dialogue snaps, and there’s no end to the cavalcade of weird ceremony and occult suggestions.
Synopsis. Historian Michel Boissard (Walter Giller), is invited with his wife Marie (Édith Scob), a descendant of the Marchioness of Brinvilliers, the notorious poisoner, to the château of Mathias Desgrez (Frédéric Duvallès).
