Melancolie Mau is a lonely woman on the French seaside who becomes the victim of a horrific rape, but then manages to turn the tables and shoot her attacker dead. She chooses not to tell anyone about the event and dumps the body, but this decision comes back to haunt her when a U.S. colonel shows up and mysteriously knows everything about her ordeal. However, he seems to have his own agenda, and it may concern Melancolie's absent husband.

From the artful sensitivity of Forbidden Games to the sophisticated scares of Purple Noon to the slack shallowness and childlike elaborateness of plot on view here is a far fall for a man of talent.

This fascinating, labyrinthine film pulls off the rare trick of maintaining its heroine's POV for the first 90-minutes.

3/4

Benefits from Clement's stark approach as well as fine turns from Bronson and especially Jobert.

Bronson is perfect. An underrated actor limited to television roles and a few secondary roles in major movies, Bronson here proves that he can carry a film more effectively than many star performers.
