Paris, 1933. The daughter of a respectable lower middle class couple, Violette Nozière, leads a disreputable double life. Far from being the innocent 18-year-old her parents mistake her for, she spends her nights with dissolute young men in the less salubrious areas of the city.
This film is truly amazing. Presenting the case in such a way that you don't know what's true-- a subtle masterpiece with one of Huppert's best performances. Chabrol continues to be inexplicably under-appreciated.
