synopsis
Widowed on the very day of her wedding, Julie methodically eliminates one by one the five men she believes are responsible for her husband’s death. Whether they live in a luxury seaside apartment, a mountain hotel room, or a prison cell, she eventually tracks them down…
C’est l’apogée de la tentation hitchcockienne de Truffaut. Le film baigne dans un hiératisme irréel, une recherche formelle assez gauche et inhabituelle pour le cinéaste, et l’actrice est presque trop charnelle pour le rôle. Mais c’est justement ce qui rend le film si beau et si poignant, cette volonté désespérée d’y croire, de ressembler au modèle inaccessible. Le syndrome Vertigo.
Les Inrockuptibles
A revenge thriller that is said to have paved the way for Tarantino’s Kill Bill.
The Guardian
With its summery, Mediterranean surface, Jeanne Moreau as the ultimate femme fatale heroine and a knife-twisting tale of murderous revenge and unexpected romance, The Bride Wore Black is well worth rediscovering.
