Revenge is a dish served icy cold in the French writer-director Denis Dercoult's taut, psychologically charged Euro-thriller. Catherine Frot plays a successful concert pianist who hires a new assistant (Deborah Francois), not realising that this seductive femme fatale has scores to settle with her from years before (85 min).
I may have read about this film when it was first released, but if so, I'd forgotten about it - it sounds good even if it is not, as my subconscious brain must have at first thought, about books. The 85 min is also quite appealing, so I might attempt to set up the timer for it (if we even get this channel), because even though it is a short film, it's too late to watch "live" as it were.

Maxine, I have seen this film and I really liked it. Very under-stated, definitely creepy. There is one quite shocking scene.

Intriguing! I think I'll attempt to set that recorder, Martin, thanks.
