Masques (FR, 1987)

A wealthy, pompous 'golden oldies' TV show presenter receives at his country mansion a young journalist who will write his biography.

The presenter's slightly odd household service staff is the most convincing aspect of the film; the background/fate of the 2 young girls who are central to the plot seems to have been brushed over.

Not among late Chabrol's best, but still better than, say, Poulet Au Vinagre or the awful Dr. M.
