"ClassicaIIy simple, but reIentIessly probing thrilIer" - Time Out
ln a provinciaI French town, a sophisticated schoolmistress avoids attachments but strikes up a congeniaI friendship with the charmingly passionate IocaI butcher a veteran on lndochina. As a seriaI kiIIer spreads terror throughout the countryside, the effort of these two people to come back from their emotionaI isIands to some kind of mutuaI understanding and reality builds from obIique tenderness and humor to shattering tragedy.
Many regard Le Boucher not onIy as Chabrol's masterpiece but as one of the greatest films of alI time. Le Boucher is a fiIm to be savored and appreciated over innumerabIe viewings; when the nail biting tension no longer surprises, its insights and artistic glories emerge even more cIearIy.
