Deep Water & A Mighty Nice Man (short) 18
Eaux Profondes
Middle-aged perfumer Vic Allen (Jean-Louis Trintignant) lives on the island of Jersey with his young wife Mélanie (Isabelle Huppert) and their daughter Marion (Sandrine Kljajic). Mélanie embarks on a string of extra-marital flirtations, all with her husband’s apparent approval, but mild-mannered, chess-playing Vic soon has murder on his mind. Directed by Michel Deville (Death in A French Garden, La Lectrice), this version of Highsmith’s 1957 novel has a dark humour poised mischievously between Luis Buñuel and Claude Chabrol.
