"Le Corbeau" is French for the Raven. This film was shot and produced in France by French filmmaker Henri-Geroges Clouzot in 1943 during a period of German occupation. Clouzot was censored and banned for several years due to the film's pro-French, anti-imperialist content. The film is possessed of outstanding storytelling and execution, and has a haunting feel about it. Surprisingly racy subject matter, "Le Corbeau" will keep you rapt throughout its 90 minute running time.
