Gross Moral Turpitude

Summary

A likeable hateable lead character

Full review

Not a great film but strangely uncomfortable as it raises questions both about the morality of what Marie is doing (probably acceptable in the circumstances) and her personal profiting from her actions (less acceptable) and her behaviour as a result towards both her husband and her children (unacceptable) and then the morality of the French state imposing moral standards and judicial murder.

Based on a true story, she really did loose her head in the end.
