In a small French provincial town, anonymous poison-pen letters signed "Le Corbeau" (The Raven) begin to circulate, exposing secrets and tearing the community apart. Henri-Georges Clouzot's corrosive, unsparing masterwork is a study in suspicion, hypocrisy, and the ease with which a society can turn on itself. Made during the Nazi occupation and condemned by both the collaborationist Vichy government and the French Resistance, Le Corbeau is one of the darkest and most unsettling films ever to emerge from France.
