What La Voleuse Is About

Jean Chapot’s 1966 film is a French-West German co-production written by Marguerite Duras. The woman Romy Schneider plays wants back the son she gave up as a teenager and moves against the family that has raised him. Her husband, played by Michel Piccoli, slowly works to persuade her of something else: that the childless couple who have loved and raised the boy hold the stronger claim. The film therefore stops being a straightforward story about a mother and becomes a quiet and uncomfortable argument about who is entitled to what. It was released in Germany under the title Chimney No. 4.
