| La Cérémonie |
Based on the Ruth Rendell novel
A Judgment in Stone, Chabrol's lacerating class thriller overlays a mischievous psychological dimension perfectly rendered in the performances of Sandrine Bonnaire, as an illiterate live-in housemaid (Sophie), and Isabelle Huppert as Jeanne, an insolent postal worker with aspirations beyond her station in life.
The Venice Film Festival awarded Huppert the Volpi Cup for Best Actress in the film that marked her fifth screen collaboration with frequent director, Claude Chabrol.
