The Twist (Folies bourgeoises)

The Twist is the story of a high class couple in the country side involved in hot love affairs, paranoia and domestic catastrophes. This is the late Claude Chabrol at his craziest, most unpredictable, a cinematic highwire act that must be seen to be believed. When a woman's room is destroyed by rain, someone famously reacts with: "You don't need a maid but an exorcist!"

Stars the loveliest actresses of its era. Stéphane Audran is delightful as ever in her last leading role for her director husband. Sydne Rome is her impetuous niece. The legendary Ann-Margret plays Audran's romantic rival.
