Que la bête meure (1969)
I'm not quite sure Chabrol convinces me

Que La Bete Meure is sensitive and intense. Chabrol shows us Thenier's justified rage towards his son's killer in an intelligent and engaged way. Duchaussoy plays the role wonderfully, he is reserved and calm and this shows that it is vengeance he is after and not senseless lashing out. Yanne is also excellent creating a frightening, overbearing character, making Decourt very much alive. However although the story is woven well and the suspense is captivating, the inevitable twist is unconvincing and I personally preferred to make up my own ending.
