"Bad Girls by Claude Chabrol chronicles a dangerous love triangle between a male architect and two bisexual girls in St. Tropez. 

 

The film is defined by excellent sexual and psychological tension, carefully dosed to great fescinating and magnetic effects as the film progresses. It is seductive and sinister, recalling a seventies update of the film noir, with hints to the alienation and the boredom of the wealthy classes, as well as the tragic and disastrous consequences that it can result in. 

 

Bad Girls is infused by the dramatic depth and aura of mystery with which Cabrol is identified, as well as an unmistakable air of European glamour that makes it even more trendy and sensual.

 

Thriller, France/Italy
