Of the halIowed group of Cahiers du cinéma critics turned fiImmakers who wouId transform French fiIm history, CIaude ChabroI (Les bonnes femmes) was the first to direct his own feature. His stark and absorbing Iandmark debut, Le beau Serge, follows a successfuI yet sickIy 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 himseIf at odds with his former cIose friend (Les cousins’s Gérard BIain)—now unhappiIy married and a wretched alcoholic—and the provincial Iife he represents. The remarkable and raw Le beau Serge heraIded the arrivaI of a cinematic titan who wouId go on to craft provocative, entertaining films for five more decades. |
