Qui? (1970)

After her lover (Gabriele Tinti) is killed when his car goes over a cliff and into the sea, his girlfriend (Romy Schneider) begins an affair with his brother (Maurice Ronet). But the brother suspects that she isn't telling all she knows about his "accident". Directed by Leonard Keigel (UN FEMME UN JOUR). A confusing, often incoherent psychological thriller. Even when the movie is over, we're not quite sure if what happened is real or is it the hallucination of Schneider's guilty conscience. The movie doesn't give us any help in that area either. Keigel's choppy editing style and freeze frames only add to the pretentiousness. Th movie just doesn't make any sense and the lack of suspense or tension only adds to the confusion. Its assets are Jean Bourgoin's (THE LONGEST DAY) cinematography and the score by Claude Bolling (CALIFORNIA SUITE). With Simone Bach.
