Claude Chabrol

Claude Chabrol was a French film director and screenwriter, widely regarded as one of the founding figures of the French New Wave. Chabrol’s films often explore psychological suspense, moral ambiguity, and social critique, with a focus on the darker aspects of human nature. His early works, such as Le Beau Serge (1958) and Les Biches (1968), helped define the French New Wave’s aesthetic and narrative style. Chabrol is perhaps best known for his suspense thrillers, such as The Butcher (1970) and Le Boucher (1970), which combine intricate character studies with taut, atmospheric tension. His influence on French cinema and his contributions to the thriller genre remain significant.
