The film"s page
Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, Landru est un petit bourgeois marié et père de famille qui disparaît de temps à autre pour affaires. En effet, le gentleman séduit de riches parisiennes esseulées et les invite dans sa maison de campagne. Après que celles-ci lui aient signé une procuration, Landru les découpe en morceaux et les fait disparaître dans son four.
Note : tout comme Monsieur Verdoux de Charlie Chaplin, Landru est librement inspiré de la vie du premier tueur en série français Henri Désiré Landru. Claude Chabrol co-écrivit cette histoire empreinte d’humour noir avec Françoise Sagan.
