(aka 'Masks')
France 1987
Philippe Noiret (Il Postino, 'Round Midnight) delivers a brilliant performance as a TV game show host turned killer in Claude Chabrol's Masques. Roland Wolf is writing a book on the life of TV personality Christian Legagneur (Noiret)—or is he? He spends a weekend doing research for his project, where he meets Legagneur's oddball friends and his juvenile charge who suffers from a mysterious ailment. A deadly game of cat and mouse, Masques will keep you guessing from first frame to last.

Good, crisp
progressive transfer from Home Vision. I can't help but think that
things are a little vertically stretched but if it is so - it is minor.
Colors and contrast are both excellent as are the subtitle translations.
Original French audio - a trailer as an extra and some decent liner
notes are included in the package. I LOVE these Chabrol (the 'French
Hitchcock') films....
