Diabolique (1955) feat. Girl, That's Scary!

<p>Take out your enormous contact lenses because we're discussing Henri-Georges Clouzot's seminal 1955 chiller <em>Diabolique</em>! Joining us for the conversation are Jazz &amp; Kat of the <em>Girl, That's Scary! </em>podcast!</p><p>Join us as we laud this horror film/revenge drama/ghost story/queer-ish love story and praise one of its co-leads (the wonderful Simone Signoret), while we question the acting abilities of "Heart Attack Girl," aka Mrs. Véra Clouzot (in a role given to her by her husband: the film's writer/director).</p><p>Throughout the episode, we'll compare Christina to Julie James, plan a movie night with <em>Diabolique</em>, <em>Bound</em>, <em>Wild Things</em> and <em>Thelma &amp; Louise</em> and (of course) talk about <em>that </em>incredible twist ending.</p><p>Plus: neematoads, child-slapping, gaslighting, ghost suits and a 1996 remake with Sharon Stone (spoiler alert: it's pretty good!)!</p><p>References:</p><p>Asibong, Andrew. “Nouveau Désordre : Diabolical Queerness in 1950s French Cinema” in&nbsp;<em>Queer 1950s : Rethinking Sexuality in the Postwar Years : Rethinking Sexuality in the Postwar Years&nbsp;</em>(2012)</p><p>Hayward, Susan.&nbsp;<em>Les Diaboliques</em>&nbsp;(2005)</p><p>Questions?
