Blu-ray Review Le Corbeau – Criterion Blu-ray Review (1 Viewer)

[t1g3r5fan]

Best known today for The Wages of Fear (1953) and Diabolique (1955), director Henri-Georges Clouzot began his career as a screenwriter before a bout with tuberculosis put him on the shelf – and in a Swiss sanitorium – for five years. After his health recovered, he resumed his career and – using the time bedridden from tuberculosis to improve his screenwriting skills – became a director with his debut feature The Murderer Lives at Number 21 (1942). For his follow-up feature, he looked to the recent pre-WWII past with Le Corbeau (The Raven). Criterion has previously released the film on DVD but has given it a Blu-ray upgrade.

Thanks for the review. I had intended to get this but watched it on Prime. It's well worth a viewing but I doubt I would watch it again.
