(DVD, First Run Features)

Young Benoit Magimel falls in love with one of the bridesmaids at his sister's wedding. Their torrid affair soon comes crashing down when she asks him to kill someone to "prove his love"for her. Not wanting to lose her, he fakes killing a homeless man who lives on her property. Satisfied, she returns the favor by claiming to have killed someone a few days later. Magimel investigates and finds out it is true, but has trouble breaking up with her despite his horror. Slow, unmoving Chabrol, with the central motivation for the murder left completely unexplained.
