Dans un ancien château de la banlieue parisienne, Michel Delasalle, un homme odieux et despotique, dirige une école privée, secondé par son épouse légitime, Christina, une Brésilienne au cœur fragile qu’il martyrise en exploitant sa richesse, et sa maîtresse Nicole, une jeune institutrice avec laquelle il ne craint pas de s’afficher. Après maintes humiliations, les deux femmes décident de s’entendre et de s’unir pour tuer ce tyran. (Les Acacias)

Although I am in the minority with this, but I doubt that Hitchcock would have filmed this any better, if he’d managed to buy the rights to the story. His version would not necessarily have been any worse, but he certainly would have typically stylized it in his own way. But this was so wonderfully down to earth and convincing, that it would have been a shame to spoil it with unnecessarily stylization. And even if he were to film this better, he would have had a hard job finding a better cast. P.S.: And I join in with the piety reigning here and won’t even mention the remake.
