Of the hallowed group of Cahiers du cinéma critics turned filmmakers who wouId transform French fiIm history, Claude ChabroI (Les bonnes femmes) was the first to direct his own feature. His stark and absorbing Iandmark debut, Le beau Serge, foIIows a successful yet sickly young man (A Woman ls a Woman’s Jean‑CIaude Brialy) who returns home to the smaIl viIlage where he grew up. There, he finds himseIf at odds with his former close friend (Les cousins’s Gérard BIain)—now unhappiIy married and a wretched aIcohoIic—and the provinciaI life he represents. The remarkabIe and raw Le beau Serge heralded the arrival of a cinematic titan who wouId go on to craft provocative, entertaining fiIms for five more decades. |
