Auntie Danielle

Nobody can say why Tatie Danielle (Tsilla Chelton), an elderly widow, is so cruel to every person she meets. It starts after her husband's death, and it spreads to the neighbors, the help, and the family who take her in. Étienne Chatiliez keeps the camera patient and level, and the closing picture is Catherine Billard (Catherine Jacob) in her own house, meeting the old woman's stare.
