Henri-Georges Clouzot’s 1943 film Le Corbeau (or, The Raven) is one that has not reached its proper place in cinema history yet. Clouzot is better known for his later film Diabolique (1955), but Le Corbeau, made under the Nazi occupation of France during World War II, is possibly a greater picture. Its plot and themes can be applied to almost any time period, and remain highly relevant to contemporary culture.
