Starring: Bernadette Lafont, Georges Géret, Claire Maurier, Julien Guiomar, Michel Constantin, Louis Malle

Marie (Bernadette Lafont) lives with her mother on the outskirts of a provincial town where the inhabitants are as cruel as they are ignorant, treating the two women like inferiors. When her mother is tragically killed, Marie sees the opportunity to exploit her exploiters, charging them for sexual favors and quickly accumulating wealth and power. Director Nelly Kaplan’s debut feature is a biting satire that she described as “a witch who doesn’t let herself be burned; she sets fire to the others.”
