Movie: 76

A Woman Kills, a rediscovered 1968 French film by Jean-Denis Bonan, offers a peculiar blend of bold narrative misdirection and revolutionary ambiance. Despite its enticing premise of female serial killers, it largely feels like a disjointed exercise in art-house indulgence, interesting more for its historical obscurity than its cinematic prowess.
