Rating: - Isabelle Huppert & Claude Chabrol Create Another Extraordinary Film Together
In COMEDY OF POWER, Isabelle Huppert creates an exciting character to watch by providing a nuanced, precise, intelligent characterization of a powerful judge with the zeal of a pit-bull.

The judge, nicknamed "the Piranha," goes after corporate big-wigs and takes them to task for their fat expense accounts and ridiculous bookkeeping. She exercises steely power over them in ways that confound them and excite the audience.

Huppert is quite arguably the best actress working in film today, and she does not disappoint in this role. Though the rest of the cast (her boring, suicidal husband and his brother) are rather feeble, she occupies her space with elegance and complete sangfroid.

Definitely a film worth seeing. I don't think it's one I would necessarily add to my collection, but it's still damn fine work.
