Comedy of Power is highly recommended

Comedy of Power is a brilliant French movie directed by the talented Claude Chabrol.  As one of the French New Wave directors, Chabrol has come to be known for his subtle, yet intense, mysteries.  This quote sums up my feelings for Chabrol's movies, "...Chabrol's work can perhaps best be seen as a cross between the unassuming and popular genre film and the pretentious elitist art film."  Seeing one of his movies is like having your best friend explain quantum physics - he makes "French Cinema" friendly and accessible.

I have fantasies that as I age I will become Isabelle Huppert. Just look at her!  In addition to being the most beautiful woman ever, she's an amazing actress that does the coolest movies - from The Piano Teacher to I (heart) Huckabees. I wish I was half as cool as she is.
