The Bridesmaid

French master Claude Chabrol who's one of the few directors of French New Wave that still works and delivers consistently good films. In this great psychological character study French star Benoît Magimel plays Philippe, a good looking and hard working young man who's beloved by his family and boss that falls in love with his sister's disturbed bridesmaid. Chabrol as always meticulously shows the characters develop in their environment before pulling the "rug under your feet" to the shocking conclusion. An excellent cast that includes besides Magimel, Laura Smet and Aurore Clément in equally great roles. The French films do character studies like no other which Chabrol is a master.
