From masterful suspense director Henri-Georges Clouzot comes Le Corbeau, the film that scandalised occupied France upon its release in 1944. Set in a provincial town which, according to the title card, could be "here, there or elsewhere", the townspeople are being terrorised by a poison-pen letter-writer: an annonymous scribe, "Le Corbeau" or, "The Raven", reveals shocking scandals of the letters' recipients, all of which turn out to be very true. Anxious that their secrets could be the next to be revealed, the townspeople fly into a panic, accusing each other blindly of writing the letters in a flurry of unresearched paranoia.Clouzot himself was accused of spreading anti-French propaganda with Le Corbeau, and he was subsequently given a lifetime ban from filmmaking in France, a sentence which was later lifted to two years. Le Corbeau is a fantastic example of his striking style and indicates why he was often labeled "the French Hitchcock".
