" The Flower of Evil is a film about lies and power - And the power of lies." Martin Karmitz

An odious leaflet sows discord within the Charpin-Vasseur family in the middle of the election campaign and brings to the surface dark memories... Incest, murder and betrayal are at the heart of this psychological thriller.

“I am not cruel, but ultimately rather sentimental. The day I make a fierce film, we will notice it. I have a tenderness for human weaknesses. […] In fact, I asked Caroline Eliacheff to give the characters a very heavy background, so as to have a strong action. With her, with her knowledge of psychoanalysis, relations are certified as accurate. I hate movies where you don't understand the plot, let alone the reactions of the characters. This makes it impossible for spectators to participate in the action. – Claude Chabrol
