LA CEREMONIE
A film by CLAUDE CHABROL
‘Cold, precise and terrifying’ The Observer
Isabelle Huppert · Sandrine Bonnaire · Jacqueline Bisset · Jean-Pierre Cassel
Adapted from Ruth Rendell’s chilling novel, La Cérémonie is one of Claude Chabrol’s most celebrated and unforgettable films.
Wealthy family the Lelievres have taken on the extremely efficient but strangely detached Sophie as their live-in maid. Her free time is spent alone in her room until she meets local postal clerk Jeanne who has a disturbed history and a grudge against Sophie’s new employers. As the pair begin to bond the family grow increasingly concerned.
A masterpiece that builds in tension to a shocking and violent climax.
