Synopsis : This thriller from Henri‑Georges Clouzot, which shocked audiences in
Europe and the U.S., is the story of two women—the fragile wife and the
willful mistress of the sadistic headmaster of a boys' boarding
school—who hatch a daring revenge plot. With its unprecedented narrative
twists and terrifying images, Diabolique is a heart-grabbing benchmark
in horror filmmaking, featuring outstanding performances by Simone
Signoret, Véra Clouzot, and Paul Meurisse.
The wife and mistress of a sadistic boarding school headmaster plot to
kill him. They drown him in the bathtub and dump the body in the
school's filthy swimming pool... but when the pool is drained, the body
has disappeared - and subsequent reported sightings of the headmaster
slowly drive his 'killers' (and the audience) up the wall with almost
unbearable suspense...
