Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

A promising start with a girl going home to a lonely house, unaware that she has a sex maniac in the boot of her car. He rapes her, she shoots him, and the film spirals into a mad Hitchcockian mystery (the dead man's name is finally revealed, in tribute to the Master, to be MacGuffin), which is rather nullified by the fact that nobody behaves with any sort of credibility. Good performances from Jobert and Bronson, though, and glossy direction from Clément.
