There are two ways I’ve been able to view this film so far. The first: Chabrol goes deeper than ever before tackling marital jealousy. Eyes Wide Shut this is not, nor Modern Romance. Well no one expected a comedy, but the point of comparison is that unlike other great films about jealousy, Chabrol chooses not to lean his focus favorably toward the male jealous subject. Here he devotes equal attention to both the jealous husband Paul and the object of these projected emotions, his wife Nelly. We don’t relate with Paul, as we do with Tom Cruise or Albert Brooks (even if from a relatively objective distance in those films!); we feel sympathy for him, as we do his wife. But this is more than just a psychological study of socio-emotional-behavioral processes particularly dissecting the male self-emasculation in a relationship. Ebert made an interesting argument in his review regarding Nelly’s part (a phenomenal Emmanuelle Béart), that supports his similar argument in his analysis of the dynamic in Le Boucher. I don’t buy it this time, but I don’t have to, because Chabrol keeps us at enough of a distance to get a peripheral view of possible angles without any being objectively correct, in part because we get so much exposure to Nelly. Even through this perspective, the film is one of the more mysterious and challenging works in Chabrol’s filmography; perhaps not as much as Le Cri du hibou or Le Boucher, but worthy of standing alongside them. It breaks down the marital connectivity...
