Les Chiens de paille (1971)
David, jeune mathématicien américain, vient habiter avec sa femme dans l'arrière pays anglais pour se concentrer sur ses recherches. Il engage de jeunes ouvriers du village pour réparer la ferme, qui finissent par tourmenter le couple non violent. Cela s'intensifie lorsqu'ils attaquent la ferme après que David a pris la défense d'Henry Niles, l'idiot du village, accusé de meurtre. David met toute son intelligence au service de sa survie ; retranché dans la ferme, il élabore des pièges qui font de lui l’égal de ses assaillants. Ses convictions non violentes et sa répugnance à tuer sont dissipées par les actes qu’il commet.
