Traitement de choc (1973)

Second viewing; first viewed on November 28, 1997.

English title: Shock Treatment.

A woman approaching her 40s checks into a clinic which offers an expensive treatment which claims to stop aging. There are some fishy occurrences at the clinic, and she starts poking around in search of any clues of wrongdoing.

Although the premise is somewhat smart, and its critique of capitalism is spot on, the film is flawed on account of an excessively conventional and excitement-free narrative. Also, what's with all the nudity?

Rating: 50 (down from 65)
