Brittany & Normandy Claude Chabrol made a film of the book (a bestseller in France), his 32nd. Most distinctively, the book evokes ways of life among the peasants of Brittany long since disappeared in rich, earthy detail. www.longitudebooks.com /find/d/3824/r/B4/mcms.html   (817 words)

The VH1 Shop - DVD/VHS Writing alongside the likes of Eric Rohmer (with whom he wrote a groundbreaking study of Alfred Hitchcock), Jean-Luc Godard, Jacques Rivette, and Franois Truffaut, Chabrol developed theories of authorship that are still influential today, and attempted to revolutionize the cinematic value system. One of the founders of the Nouvelle Vague (New Wave) movement, Chabrol began his filmmaking career in 1958 as the director, writer, and producer of Le Beau Serge. Chabrol's true film career began during the 1950s, when he became one of a legendary group of critics for Cahiers du cinma. vh1shop.vh1.com /namepage.aspx?pid=P84594&type=V&loc=33697   (196 words)

Stephane Audran at tedstrong.com That seemed a sardonic, marital joke from Chabrol, and even in La Ligne de DŽmarcation (66) and The Champagne Murders (67), there was no hint that he regarded her as anything more than a conventionally beautiful fashion plate. Conveying an icy sensuality in her screen appearances, Audran won France's Cesar Award for her against-type portrayal of a drab, unhappy woman in Chabrol's Violette Noziere (1978); three years earlier, she was honored with the British Film Academy award for Just Before Nightfall (1975). The most celebrated of her non-Chabrol films was Luis Bunuel's Oscar-winning The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972). www.tedstrong.com /stephane.shtml   (196 words)

DVD Times - Nada Nada was a departure for Claude Chabrol from the films which made his name, being, on the surface, a political thriller. It’s interesting that Chabrol should be making this film given his history as a left-wing political sympathiser who was there at the barricades in May 1968. Underneath, however, if you listen hard enough there's a requiem mass playing for the certainties of 1968 - and this renders it one of Chabrol's most personal films. www.dvdtimes.co.uk /content.php?contentid=58290   (1452 words)

MTV.com - Movies - Le Beau Serge Le Beau Serge was the first film of French critic-turned-director Claude Chabrol. Though not a murder melodrama, the film is heavily influenced by the works of Chabrol's idol Alfred Hitchcock, Shadow of a Doubt in particular. Both male stars, as well as leading lady Bernadette Lafont, would continue working with director Chabrol for the remainder of his career. www.mtv.com /movies/movie/20142/plot.jhtml   (1452 words)

Amazon.ca: Editorial Reviews DVD: Le Boucher Stéphane Audran (Chabrol's wife and frequent collaborator) and Jean Yanne (who starred in another quality Chabrol effort, This Man Must Die, from the same year) both perform admirably in the difficult roles the director has devised for them. Audran, who was Chabrol's wife at the time, makes an engaging heroine, and Yanne is simultaneously scary and pathetic as the obsessive butcher. Drawing on Hitchcockian themes of exchanged guilt and shared secrets, Chabrol constructs an extraordinary relationship between the two characters that marries unspoken self-awareness with constant suspense over the unresolved nature of their bond. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/dvd/B00007G1Y1/reviews   (1452 words)

Stephane Audran at tedstrong.com Audran continued to work with Chabrol in Violette (1978), Cop au vin (1984), Quiet Days in Clichy (1990) and most recently, Betty (1993). Conveying an icy sensuality in her screen appearances, Audran won France's Cesar Award for her against-type portrayal of a drab, unhappy woman in Chabrol's Violette Noziere (1978); three years earlier, she was honored with the British Film Academy award for Just Before Nightfall (1975).

Paris nous appartient / Paris Belongs to Us / Paris Is Ours / 1960 / film review / Jacques Rivette Along with Claude Chabrol’s Le Beau Serge and François Truffaut’s Les Quatre cent coups, Paris nous appartient marks the debut of another great director of the French New Wave, this time Jacques Rivette. He borrowed money from Les cahiers du cinéma, the film review magazine on which he worked with Truffaut, Chabrol and Godard, whilst Chabrol and Truffaut supplied him with a camera and film. For his first full length film, Rivette combines a familiar thriller theme with that distinctively fresh New Wave blend of contemporary realism and visual poetry. frenchfilms.topcities.com /nf_Paris_nous_appartient_rev.html   (304 words)

Unfaithful - Movie Preview Unfaithful is inspired by Claude Chabrol’s 1968 classic La femme infidèle, about a man who slowly begins to suspect that his wife is having an affair. In Chabrol’s original movie, the role taken by Gere in this one is played by Michel Bouquet, an actor who made a career out of being the essence of ordinariness (he recently re-emerged in the arthouse hit Toto-le-héros). Lyne had been toying with the idea of remaking or adapting the Chabrol movie for a couple of decades. www.preview-online.com /may-jun02/feature_articles/unfaithful   (4321 words)

Noces rouges, Les (1973) LES NOCES ROUGES is on one level Chabrol's most accessible film, with a straightforward plot and realistic filming. The films of Claude Chabrol are probably most famous for their artifice, their heightened use of colour, stylised plots and action, elaborate, distancing camerawork, intrusive decor and music, especially their turning domestic melodrama into murder mysteries. But Chabrol first made his name with LE BEAU SERGE, a scrupulously naturalistic rural drama, and mined this vein throughout his career, co-existing in compelling tension with the artifice. us.imdb.com /title/tt0070453   (1229 words)

Noces rouges, Les (1973) Les noces rouges" is also a movie which depicts political life circa 1970 in a small town where gossips run rampant.And as usual,Chabrol is marvelous when it comes to paint vignettes of ordinary life -see the scene in the library- Claude Chabrol started as part of the nouvelle vague,as contemporary of Truffaut and -yuk!- Godard,but his roots are in the old cinema,that of Clouzot and Duvivier.That's why his best movies hold up very well today. It would take Chabrol five years to muster this sort of command ("Violette Nozieres" (1978)),and although he occasionally made great works ("l'enfer" " la cérémonie"),he will be remembered in fifty years or so for those gems of the late sixties/early sixties era."Les noces rouges" is a must. www.imdb.com /title/tt0070453   (1229 words)

Person of the Week 7 Stephane Audran It is characteristic of Chabrol's enigmatic work that one might not deduce from it that Stéphane Audran was his wife. Stéphane made 24 films for her then-husband Claude Chabrol. Chabrol, along with Godard and Truffaut was one of the leaders of French New Wave Cinema in the late 50s and 60s. www.tedstrong.com /stephane.html   (1229 words)

Guardian Unlimited Books Review There is something about cleaners Inspirations and influences: There is a long tradition of French-language adaptations of English crime novels; Chabrol had been there before with 1970's La Rupture (from Charlotte Armstrong's The Balloon Man) and would go there again with Merci Pour le Chocolat (2000), also from Armstrong. How book and film compare: Chabrol relocates the story to Brittany, and dispenses with the narrator's foreknowledge of the gruesome events. The film, naturally, also loses its peculiarly English atmosphere - bitterness, claustrophobia, oppressiveness - and Chabrol excises the postal clerk's spiritual dementia to make both characters "charming" and therefore "more terrible". books.guardian.co.uk /review/story/0,12084,1211180,00.html   (1474 words)

Jacques Rivette Rivette, like his CAHIERS DU CINEMA colleagues Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Claude Chabrol and Eric Rohmer, did graduate to filmmaking but, like Rohmer, was something of a late bloomer as a director. He made two shorts ("Aux Quatre Coins" 1949 and "Le Quadrille" 1950, starring Jean-Luc Godard); in the mid-1950s he served as an assistant to Jean Renoir and Jacques Becker; and in 1958 he was, along with Chabrol, the first of the five to begin production on a feature-length film.... Although Francois Truffaut has written that the New Wave began "thanks to Rivette," the films of this masterful French director are not well known. www.hollywood.com /celebs/detail/id/196316   (615 words)

Eric Rohmer In 1951 he helped to found the short-lived La Gazette du Cinema with, among others, the young Chabrol, Godard, and Truffaut, and when that folded they all joined Cahiers du Cinema as radical young critics alongside the older André Bazin. Together with Chabrol he wrote the first book-length study of Hitchcock, concentrating on what they saw as the Catholic themes of the director’s films. In truth his films are an attempt to transfer the form and concerns of the 19th century (and sometimes earlier) novel to the cinema. www.talkingpix.co.uk /ArticleEricRohmer.html   (1822 words)

Les cousins Both films, and especially Les bonnes femmes, are stunning reminders how much rougher and more powerful Chabrol`s work was early on, before--once Chabrol was past thirty and had been burned by the uncomprehending reception Les bonnes femmes initially drew--he turned from black-and-white to color and to more refined (sometimes overly refined) modes of expression. At the close of the film it is Paul`s devastation that we are left with, as his whole world of adolescent play, irreversibly shattered, lies along with Charles`s corpse at his bare feet. For instance, in The Cousins, instead of a city boy visiting the country, we are shown a country boy visiting the city. www.fortunecity.co.uk /cinerama/chick/268/essays/DG_Les_cousins.html   (2083 words)

Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Les Cousins at Epinions.com Themes: The principal theme of Les Cousins is one of the most important psychological issues that adolescents and young adults have to grapple with, but it is seldom tackled as directly as Chabrol does here in this film. Chabrol actually filmed two alternate endings for Les Cousins – a happy one and a tragic one. After Le Beau Serge and Les Cousins, he appeared in Paris Belongs to Us (1960), A Woman is a Woman (1960), Cleo from 5 to 7 (1962), the magnificent The King of Hearts (1966), The Phantom of Liberty (1974), La Nuit de Varennes (1982), and Queen Margot (1994). www.epinions.com /content_151927230084   (2134 words)

► DVD Man and a Woman Review The French New Wave nourished the febrile imagination of three generations: the First one was constituted by the pioneers: Truffaut, Godard and Chabrol `s first stage; the second one with Malle, Rohmer, Resnais and Alain Robbe Grillet; and the third one with Claude Lelouch, Chabrol `s second stage and Pierre Granier Deferre. I first watched this French film at 19 and it was gut wrenching for me. The fact that both were widowed (and thus free to marry) seemed to represent the promise of a new love after loss.

Reeling: the Movie Review Show's review of The Flower of Evil (La Fleur du Mal) Chabrol returns to the well once more to skewer the bourgeois class and their never changing timelessness. This bourgeoisie household appears perfectly normal but there is a dark, secret past of betrayal, Nazi collaboration and murder in Claude Chabrol’s 50th film, “The Flower of Evil.” Despite the complexities of its familial relationships, "The Flower of Evil" is too light a treatment of weighty matters. www.reelingreviews.com /theflowerofevil.htm   (427 words)
