"The Bride Wore Black"
1968
Directed by Francois Truffaut

Francois Truffaut's stylish and suspenseful homage to Hitchcock stars a stone-faced Jeanne Moreau tracking down and killing (each in a unique way) the five men responsible for her husband's accidental death. A very odd and dark film, it contains many masterful stylistic flourishes and is further highlighted by an eerie, atmospheric musical score from Bernard Herrmann. Beautifully photographed by Raoul Coutard. French with English subtitles.  107 minutes.
