Les Diaboliques

Part of the NACHTBLENDE special series

“I finished watching this two hours ago and I'm still waiting for the two leads to kiss” Lauren on Letterboxd

Henri-Georges Clouzot's DIE TEUFLISCHEN is an early masterpiece of the French psychological thriller. Always celebrated by critics (except by the soon-to-be Nouvelle Vague in his own country), it has now also made it onto Letterboxd's list of “top rated horror films of all time.” It is both a blueprint for the radical plot twist and for a cinematic motif that runs through history from THELMA & LOUISE to LOVE LIES BLEEDING and is the central theme of the 12th Nachtblende season.
