Le Corbeau has a really pleasing rhythm to it and is constructed exactly like a good suspense thriller should be. The multitude of characters and the confined milieu of a small french town form a set-up that's a joy to experience on film, while the concept represented by le Corbeau as the ominous feature of the film satisfies the need for enjoyment derived from the elements of mystery on screen.

So mysterious, cynical and bitter! There was so much of it to appreciate that I have a feeling I'd love this even more if I was to watch it again. Everything from the frustrated doctor, the screwfaced slut in bed, drugged up old man investigating, and the many jealous suspects in this poison pen mystery, made for a enticing experience. Superb film from Henri-Georges Clouzot!

clouzot's work will be remembered as a perfect example of resolution of the fragile society dynamics by an external effect. chaos on small town, community pressure and tension of unknown had given to audience proper way with the use of film-noir elements and hitchcockian style.

Clever social commentary meets labyrinthine whodunnit. Clouzot keeps us guessing, and the characters are relatively well-rounded, not merely pawns in a game.

Clouzot's phenomenal screenplay is brought to life by superb performances across the board, most of all from the exquisite Pierre Fresnay. The central mystery surrounding "Le Corbeau" is less the focus than the effects of suspicion and paranoia on a small community, and the film's ultimate message - that there are occasions when violence is the only appropriate response to evil - is remarkably nuanced and pertinent to its time. It's beautifully shot too.

It's alright. Intriguing without being gripping. Certain sequences - the funeral procession, the letter fluttering down from the church gallery - linger in the mind and the final act keeps one guessing, but unmemorable characters don't help. Not a patch on the later Les Diaboliques and its creepy atmosphere.

A consistently intriguing story, though it's up against its own cinematic flaccidity. As fun and as cleverly analogical as this story may get, I did feel the community's overreaction felt rather forced, though the main characters have a quality film noir presence to them, like the assertively up-tight Germains and the sultry Denise.

The paranoia is intense for much of the running time, as the mystery behind "who is the raven" caused me to try to guess who was responsible. The very ending is excellent, but the back and forth before it started to grow weary. It does, however, cut to the core of how quickly humans can turn on one another when threatened.

A gripping tale of a letter campaign by an anonymous writer which tears an entire town apart. I like its depiction of how paranoia and suspicion are the real sources of the suffering here; "the Raven" is more the catalyst for everything that happens than the cause. Clouzot's style favours patience over all, slowly building a kind of quiet dread. Also fascinating is its Occupation context, depicting a poisonous culture of faceless malevolence, mistrust and fear.
