Diabolique Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Jeremiah S. Chechik
Genres: Thriller
Rating:
Henri-Georges Clouzot's classic French thriller gets a Hollywood makeover in this glossy remake. Guy Baran (Chazz_Palminteri) is the dull, loutish headmaster of a private school that has seen better days. While Guy oversees the day to day operations, the school is actually owned by his wife Mia (Isabelle_Adjani), whose spirit has been crushed by Guy's casual cruelty and whose health is frail. Guy has been openly having an affair with one of his teachers, Nicole Horner (Sharon_Stone), who has almost as much contempt for Guy as Mia. Mia and Nicole eventually join forces against their common enemy and plan to murder him and conceal the evidence. However, while the killing goes as planned, Guy's body mysteriously disappears from the carefully chosen spot where it was dumped, and when a chatty detective, Shirley Vogel (Kathy_Bates) begins asking questions, both women begin to wonder who knows what about their murderous scheme. This was the third remake of Les_Diaboliques, following two made-for-TV adaptations, Reflection of Murder and House of Secrets. Mark Deming, Rovi
