Editor's Note
Based on the novel by suspense master Patricia Highsmith (THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY), acclaimed French director Claude Chabrol's CRY OF THE OWL is a tight, edgy thriller. The acclaimed, widely viewed film was the recipient of a French Academy Award upon its release in 1987, and has gone on to be viewed as one of the landmark psychological suspense films of the 1980's. When a Peeping Tom finally meets the object of his infatuation, he finds that she is even more disturbed than he is. Upon becoming close, the two enter into a bizarre love triangle that becomes more violent and scary as time goes on.
