Do I understand this correctly?
François' father is married to Michèle's mother. However François and Michèle are cousins?
Does this not imply that François' father, Gérard, married his sister-in-law, Anne?
Which makes Anne both step-mother and aunt to François, and Gérard is step-father and uncle to Michèle.
A mansion in Bordeaux with an Atlantic summer home by La Dune du Pyla is a long way from a trailer park in Alabama, but the families don't seem to far removed.
I think so. Dark isn't it? Especially when you factor in that François and Michèle probably share the same father making them sibings rather than cousins.

Yes, I did enjoy the film, thanks for the recommendation. I thought that each of the characters was a little play unto himself, especially Tante Line.
Le Boucher will be next with the beautiful Stéphane Audran, also in The Unfaithful Wife which is en route. I did not realize that it was she who was the cook in Babette's Feast, a 1987 Danish film that I sat on forever before finally watching and enjoying.
Better late to 'discover' Claude Chabrol than never, I think. I am looking forward to seeing more of his films.
Hello Sal,
I did not realize that it was she who was the cook in Babette's Feast, a 1987 Danish film that I sat on forever before finally watching and enjoying.I didn't know this either and I've seen both films although it's been a long while since I saw Babette's Feast. I haven't seen The Unfaithful Wife yet.
