But nobody seems to be looking. Chabrol’s most pitiless examination of bourgeois self-preservation is a film in which the real horror is not guilt but the ease with which it can be absorbed.<div><br></div><div><i>Juste avant la nuit&nbsp;</i>adapts Edward Atiyah's 1951 novel <i>The Thin Line</i>, also adapted by Japanese melodrama master Mikio Naruse (<i>Floating Clouds</i>) in his 1966 film <i>The Stranger Within a Woman</i>.&nbsp;Stéphane Audran's performance as Hélène Masson earned her a double BAFTA for Best Actress in a Leading Role, alongside her leading role in&nbsp;Luis Buñuel's satire <i>The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie</i>.</div>DramaPT1H48M152026-09-16FRfr
