The Flower of Evil

The Flower of Evil (original title: La fleur du mal) is a 2003 French psychological thriller film by Claude Chabrol that deals with incest, murder and betrayal. It has nothing to do with Les Fleurs du mal, the volume of French symbolist poetry by Charles Baudelaire, the "Fleurs du Mal", an episode of the television series The Batman, or Les Fleurs du mal, a 1957 album by Léo Ferré. Three generations of a wealthy Bordeaux family are involved in social turmoil when one (Anne) runs for political office due to an anonymous political pamphlet that revives an old murder scandal and Nazi involvement within the family.
