Movie Review: La Rupture ruptured
Summary: 2 Stars
Not one of Chabrol's best despite interesting plot and characterizations. Horrific scene of domestic violence opens the film: father violently attacks wife and then throws his small child across the room, which cracks the boy's head open on the kitchen floor. And later we are subjected to a disturbing sequence of child molestation (the actress who portrays the young girl is a woman dressed as a child, but the portrayal is of a mentally disabled girl who is drugged and molested while forced to watch pornography, and then is INEXPLICABLY shown later to have actually enjoyed it). This sequence makes absolutely no sense to the plot whatsoever and is absolutely REVOLTING. Frequently over-the-top and exaggerated themes in this film prove to be a huge turn off. I just couldn't see past these barriers to understand the true meanings in this work, if there were any. One could skip this film altogether in the Chabrol canon. Despite these setbacks, Stephane Audran does a superior and sublime job as always. Other far more meaningful and rewarding films by Chabrol: Le Boucher, Les Biches, and Le Femme Infidele. The audio commentary is more interesting than the film itself, so don't miss the audio commentary portion of the DVD if you decide to give this one a try. I threw this one back.
