Ophélia

Ophelia is not one of the best Chabrol films but its still entertaining; It has some of the charisma of the early nouvelle vague films such as breathless and 400 blows but lacks the personality of those as the characters in Ophelia , especially the lead are shallow and sometimes redundant. I just wish Chabrol didn't forget about the whole strike subplot, i think it would've been interesting to see the relationship between Ivan, Adrien and the workers.
