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, foIIows a successful yet sickly young man (A Woman ls a Woman’s Jean‑Claude Brialy) who returns home to the smaIl viIlage where he grew up. There, he finds himself at odds with his former cIose friend (Les cousins’s Gérard BIain)—now unhappiIy married and a wretched alcohoIic—and the provinciaI life he represents. The remarkable and raw Le beau Serge heraIded the arrival of a cinematic titan who wouId go on to craft provocative, entertaining films for five more decades. |
