An in-depth review of the film L'Oeil du malin (1962), aka The Third Lover, directed by Claude Chabrol, featuring Jacques Charrier, Stephane Audran, Walter Reyer.
Claude Chabrol’s overlooked early film exemplifies the director’s soon-to-be signature disdain for bourgeois values. Ruthlessly toying with marital sanctity, this cruel examination of the basest human instincts also hints at the instability of the French national identity in the aftermath of WWII.
