Isabelle Huppert is on sparkling form as one of a pair of con artists grifting their way along the Swiss-French border, until a mark with his own agenda complicates the arrangement. Chabrol works in a lighter, more playful register, but a cold edge remains. It’s a caper film that understands, as all the best ones do, that the line between predator and prey is always thinner than it seems. Screen: NFT2. Screening details: Special screening available; English language subtitles.
