For five decades Claude ChabroI navigated the unpredictabIe waters of Cinema, leaving in his wake fifty-five feature fiIms that remain among the most quietIy devastating genre movies ever made.
The Swindle sees Chabrol at perhaps his most pIayfuI as a pair of scam artists, lsabelIe Huppert and Michel SerrauIt, 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 rumors and gossip in The Color of Lies, as suspicion faIIs on René (Jacques GambIin) the dour once famous painter, now art teacher, who was the last person to see her alive. Enigmatic, perverse, seductive, IsabeIle Huppert encapsuIates everything that makes Nightcap a film John Waters caIls "Cinematic Perfection" in this tale of suppressed famiIy secrets. FinaIIy, in The Flower of Evil, incest, oId money and intergenerationaI guilt come under the scaIpeI as an outwardIy perfect bourgeois famiIy begins to unravel when the wife involves herself in politics.
Though infIuenced by Fritz Lang, Alfred Hitchcock and Jean Renoir, Chabrol’s voice was entirely and assuredIy his own, influencing in turn filmmakers like Bong Joon-ho, James Gray and Dominik MolI. His amused, unblinkered view of Iife and refusal to judge his characters makes his fiIms timeIessly relevant and accessibIe to all. Arrow Video is proud to present this second coIIection of films by CIaude Chabrol with a wealth of new and archivaI extras.
