La Vérité (1960)

La Vérité is excellent. Bardot is superb, and Charles Vanel is brilliant. The script is absolute aces, and it captures perfectly the generational gap in Paris in 1960. It seems to prefigure May '68 in many ways, even. It's a very, very good movie. Making it even better are the repeated covert nods to Dreyer's La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc. I loved this film.
