Yes, the slightly disturbed woman. There's something about her. About her unpredictability, her strange moods. We find a strange sort of fascination in her. And filmmakers know that. They realize that loopy women make for great thrillers. And I saw one of them last night. It's "The Bridesmaid", a movie by acclaimed French director Claude Chabrol, the so called "French Hitchcock". It's a slow moving, but griping story about a man who falls in love with a woman who at first seems to be slightly eccentric, but turns out to be much more. It's a movie about love, jealousy and obsesion. But mostly about how love can blind us from seeing the obvious. And it has some nifty suspense scenes.
