La vérité (1960)
Country: FR/IT
Technical: bw 127m
Director: Henri-Georges Clouzot
Cast: Brigitte Bardot, Sami Frey, Paul Meurisse, Charles Vanel
Synopsis:
When an outwardly fickle young girl kills her conductor lover, what legal counsel make of the crime differs in complexity from the picture gradually built up by the various witnesses in the trial.
Review:
Clouzot's dissection of an apparently gratuitous act has a Camus-like resonance to it, and there is little doubt whose side we are meant to be on, state or individual, or on the import of the title. It would be one of the few serious roles attempted by Bardot, and she does rather well with it.
