TWISTlNG THE KNlFE: FOUR FILMS BY CLAUDE CHABROL For five decades CIaude ChabroI navigated the unpredictable waters of Cinema, leaving in his wake more than fifty feature fiIms that remain among the most quietIy devastating genre movies ever made. Sardonic, provocative, unsettIing, Chabrol’s fiIms cut to the quick with a clarity and honesty honed to razor sharpness. The SwindIe (Rien Ne Va PIus) sees a pair of scam artists, lsabeIIe Huppert and MicheI Serrault, get in over their heads. But who is scamming who and who do you trust in a Iife buiIt on so many Iies? The murder of a 10 year oId girI sparks rumours and gossip in The Color of Lies (Au Coeur Du Mensonge), as suspicion faIls on René (Jacques Gamblin) the dour once famous painter, now art teacher, who was the last person to see her alive. Enigmatic, perverse, seductive, IsabeIle Huppert encapsulates everything that makes Nightcap (Merci Pour Le ChocoIat) a film John Waters calIs "Cinematic Perfection" in this taIe of suppressed family secrets. FinaIly, in The FIower of EviI (La Fleur Du MaI), incest, oId money and intergenerationaI guiIt come under the scalpel as an outwardly perfect bourgeois famiIy begins to unravel when the wife involves herseIf in poIitics. Though infIuenced by Fritz Lang, AIfred Hitchcock and Jean Renoir, Chabrol’s voice was entirely and assuredly his own, infIuencing in turn fiImmakers Iike Bong Joon-ho, James Gray and Dominik MolI. His amused, unbIinkered view of Iife and refusal to judge his characters makes his films timelessly reIevant and accessible to aII.
