Screening | The Raven (Le Corbeau): Historic, Controversial French Horror Film


A wave of anonymous poison-pen letters signed “Le Corbeau” (“The Raven”) unsettles a quiet provincial town, gradually revealing the paranoia, resentment, and moral decay lurking beneath its tranquil façade. This film is a chilling psychological thriller and a razor-sharp allegory of authoritarianism, suspicion, and collective guilt. Produced during the Nazi occupation of France, the film sparked outrage across the political spectrum. The Vichy regime condemned it as subversive; the Resistance press denounced its collaborationist undertones; and the Catholic Church decried its cynical view of human nature. After the Liberation, Le Corbeau was banned and the director was temporarily barred from filmmaking. Director: Henri-Georges Clouzot Cast: Pierre Fresnay, Ginette Leclerc, Pierre Larquey, Micheline Francey In French with English subtitles.

At its core is a specially recorded performance conducted by Neeme Jarvi, bringing Mahler's cosmic vision to life.
