Director: Claude Chabrol
Cast: Bruce Dern, Stéphane Audran, Sydne Rome, Jean-Pierre Cassel, Ann-Margret
"The Twist" is the Charbol film that stars the loveliest actresses of its era. Stephane Audran is delightful as ever in her last leading role for her director husband. Sydne Rome is her impetuous niece. The legendary Ann-Margret plays Audran's romantic rival, involved with both her husband and lover! Sybil Danning is Audran's lesbian lover and secretary. And Maria Schell is the wacky maid. She throws herself out of a window, simply to be treated by a doctor she has
a crush on.
"The Twist" is the story of a high class couple who live in Paris involved in hot love affairs, paranoia and domestic catastrophes. This is the late Claude Chabrol at his craziest, most unpredictable, a cinematic highwire act that must be seen to be believed. When a woman's room is destroyed by rain, someone famously reacts with: "You don't need a maid but an exorcist!"
