La Rupture

Aroview: Stéphane Audran plays a good mother with a chequered past who divorces her deadbeat husband and is targeted by her aggrieved in-laws. In a bit for custody of their grandchild, they hatch a plot to ruin her reputation with the help of a "family friend" (Jean-Pierre Cassel). A modernist reworking of the melodrama form from suspense-master Claude Chabrol.
