“The chaste woman loves to contemplate dawn.” Hosts John Cribbs and Christopher Funderburg sit down to discuss Henri-Georges Clouzot’s masterpiece of suspense, Les Diaboliques. The film follows a pair of abused women seeking revenge on their tormentor as it builds to one of cinema’s greatest (and most diabolical) twist endings. The conversation covers Clouzot’s controversial past and working methods, why the comparisons to Hitchcock are reductive, the artistic influence of his wife Vera, why Clouzot’s Le Corbeau made both furious the Nazis and French resistance furious, and the balance of power between Clouzot’s twins masterpieces Diaboliques and The Wages of Fear.
