Comedy of Power / L’ivresse du pouvoir / France / 2006
Isabelle Huppert is the driving force here, in her portrayal of magistrate Jeanne Charmant-Killman, unrelenting and intransigent in her pursuit of the perpetrators of corporate corruption. Character-based as the best (almost all) of Chabrol always is, the crime thriller elements (even running to tampering with the brakes of her car) are really irrelevant. Chabrol’s sly wit is a constant presence – the film’s a real pleasure – although the collapse into the cynicism of Nada in the last couple of minutes is a little disconcerting after what had come before.
