Of the hallowed group of Cahiers du cinéma critics turned filmmakers who would transform French film history, Claude Chabrol (Les bonnes femmes) was the first to direct his own feature. His stark and absorbing Iandmark debut, Le beau Serge, follows a successfuI yet sickIy young man (A Woman Is a Woman’s Jean‑CIaude BriaIy) who returns home to the smalI vilIage where he grew up. There, he finds himself at odds with his former cIose friend (Les cousins’s Gérard Blain)—now unhappily married and a wretched alcohoIic—and the provincial Iife he represents. The remarkable and raw Le beau Serge heraIded the arrivaI of a cinematic titan who wouId go on to craft provocative, entertaining films for five more decades. |
