I thought Isabelle stole the Le Ceremonie hands down, but if you really love Sandrine, then don't miss the Intimate Strangers. Vagabond I don't remember all that well to comment.

A strong recommendation: see Vagabond, again. - tinear 12:29:51 11/19/04 (0)
Isabelle WAS excellent, but Sandrine's very low key performance is worth another look, it is a master class in understatement.
Isabelle had the easier role, lots of energy and craziness, kind of like the Oscar-winning performance in "Cold Mountain" by R. Zellweger.

I am totally obsessive over Huppert, but I thought her role in Ceremonie was overwrought and distracting. Some of her least flattering work. The "climax" of the movie seemed unlikely to me. I'll take Isabelle in Entre Nous or La Seperation anyday and Bonnaire in Monsieur Hire or East-West anyday.

( huh? )
- Bonnaire in Monsieur Hire ! Oh, yeah! - Duilawyer 22:23:56 11/19/04 (0)
  Great movie, as well.

  the director created, i.e. one in which two "killers" came together in a small French town, became close friends, and both had strong class hatred.
  Pretty obvious Chabrol was doing a "Bunuel" in the climax--and the whole film. Heck, he even had Isabelle explicitly decry the worthlessness of the upper class/bourgeoisie.
