REVIEWS
“What makes Douce such an insidiously affecting movie is the velvety delicacy with which its dark vision is expressed. This marked the first collaboration of the writers Jean Aurenche and Pierre Bost, soon to become the exemplars of the pre-New Wave.”
– Rediscovering French Film
“Like a Fabergé egg with a lethal surprise hidden beneath its opulent surface.”
