Height of mediocrity - Inspector Lavardin review by CW
We turned off after about half an hour. Characters and plot, such as it was, completely uninteresting. Desperately mediocre. What happened to Chabrol, the director? I remember watching several great films way back at the beginning of his career, notably The Butcher, which was outstanding.
