Story of women (good title would be Ministry of Women’s affairs) by Claude Chabrol is touching, emotionally deep movie.

But she is overwhelmed by this newly-found self-esteem and fullfilling of free will. And the bill comes.

The film is not idealizing this woman, or any other character in the movie. We see her flaws, and then the brutal revenge of men, incapable to face their own mistakes. She is executed. That resembles to the destiny of the heroine from Zelimir Zilnik’s movie Early works.
R. Ebert well said that is an opalescent movie. I enjoyed watching it and I recommend it by heart.
