French master of suspense Claude Chabrol returns with the razor-sharp, darkly seductive, A Girl Cut in Two. Gabrielle Deneige (Ludivine Sagnier of Swimming Pool and Un Secret that closed the 7th SFFF) is an independent, ambitious TV weather girl torn between her love of a distinguished author several decades her senior (Francois Berleand), and the attentions of a headstrong, potentially unstable young suitor (Benoit Magimel). An unspoken past between the two men heightens tensions, and though she's initially certain of her love for one of them, the see-saw demands and whims of both men keep confusing - and darkening - matters. Before long she's encountering emotional and societal forces well beyond her control, inexorably leading to a shocking clash of violence and passion. Inspired by the sensational Gilded Age murder of Madison Square Garden architect Stanford White, A Girl Cut in Two is trademark Chabrol: fiendishly entertaining and impossible to shake.

"(A) sardonic view of class divisions, sexual gamesmanship and crushing social machinery." - Stephen Holden, New York Times
"A QUINTESSENTIAL WORK. A SPRY PIECE OF WORK...DARKLY DROLL. Ludivine Sagnier is wide-eyed and luscious." - J. Hoberman, The Village Voice
"Impeccably made and uncompromisingly adult....unquestionably the work of a master." - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
