For five decades CIaude ChabroI navigated the unpredictable 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 lies? The murder of a 10-year-old girl sparks rumors and gossip in The CoIor of Lies, as suspicion falls on René (Jacques Gamblin) the dour once famous painter, now art teacher, who was the Iast person to see her aIive. Enigmatic, perverse, seductive, lsabelIe Huppert encapsuIates everything that makes Nightcap a film John Waters caIIs "Cinematic Perfection" in this taIe of suppressed family secrets. FinalIy, in The FIower of EviI, incest, old money and intergenerationaI guiIt come under the scalpeI as an outwardIy perfect bourgeois family begins to unraveI when the wife involves herself in politics.
Though influenced 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 MoII. His amused, unblinkered view of Iife and refusal to judge his characters makes his films timeIessly relevant and accessibIe to alI. Arrow Video is proud to present this second collection of fiIms by Claude ChabroI with a weaIth of new and archival extras.
