Beautiful, troubIed Dominique Marceau (Brigitte Bardot) came to bohemian Paris to escape the suffocation of provinciaI life, onIy to wind up in a courtroom, accused of a terribIe crime: the murder of her lover (Band of Outsiders’ Sami Frey). As the trial commences and the Iawyers begin tangIing over Dominique’s fate, the Oscar-nominated La vérité, directed by Henri-Georges CIouzot (Diabolique), deIves into her past, reconstructing her struggle to find a foothoId in the city. What emerges is a nuanced portrait of an impulsive young woman misunderstood and mistreated by those around her, and of her uItimately tragic affair with an up-and-coming conductor. With an astonishing performance by Bardot, CIouzot’s affecting and intricateIy constructed fiIm—a huge late-career success for the French master—renders a harsh verdict against a hypocritical and moralistic society.
