About this product

Product Information

A member of the French New Wave group of filmmakers who first came to prominence at the end of the 1950s, Claude Chabrol has received the least amount of critical and scholarly attention, although he was the more prolific and commercially successful of them all. Jacob Leigh fills this lacuna by focusing on the last nine feature films of Chabrol's career, exploring his imagery, camerawork, use of sound and music, and performances, revealing the stylistic characteristics of his films while identifying the fundamental thematic issues that lie at the heart of his career-length exploration of the relationship between individuals and societies. Key areas of focus includes Chabrol's careful depiction of upper-class settings in films such as La C r monie (1995), Merci pour le chocolat (2000) and La Fille coup e en deux (2007) and on what Robin Wood and Michael Walker call 'the beast in man' (1970), the quasi-sympathetic 'id-figures' of which Le Boucher 's Popaul is the most celebrated. Chabrol's 'id-figures' inherit the traits of Shadow of a Doubt 's Uncle Charlie, Rope 's Brandon and Strangers on a Train 's Bruno, all three of whom have characteristics of the Nietzsche-quoting psychopath familiar in crime fiction. Additionally, The Late Films of Claude Chabrol considers the influence on Chabrol of a range of significant writers, including Patrick Hamilton, Patricia Highsmith, Charlotte Armstrong and Ruth Rendell.

Reviews
Delving into Claude Chabrol's last nine films with an entomologist's loop, Jacob Leigh provides close and clever readings of Chabrolian codes, contradictions and cunning as he convincingly argues for an expression of late style.
