Chabrol Collection: Vol. 1 ( Bad Girls / The Unfaithful Wife / This Man Must Die / The Butcher )
Celebrated member of the 1950s and 60s French New Wave, alongside filmmakers Truffaut, Rohmer, Godard, Demy, Varda, Bazin and Rivette, prolific auteur Claude Chabrol not only produced a highly regarded body of work but established the classic cinematic sobriquet as the 'French Hitchcock'. Inspired by the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock - Chabrol's genre of choice was thriller and his distanced objectivity helped him create some of the most intense and chilling films in French history. Volume 1 of The Chabrol Collection delves deep into the darker recesses of psychological horror and suspense, showcasing four of Chabrol's classic films: 'Les Biches' (Bad Girls) (1968) - A classic menage a trois with tragic consequences; 'La Femme Infidele' (The Unfaithful Wife) (1968) - A sordid tale of one man's descent into marital despair; 'Que la bete meure' (This Man Must Die) (1969) - An obsessed father uncovers the truth behind his son's death; 'Le Boucher' (The Butcher) (1970) - Small town suspicions cast a striking shadow when a number of women fall victim to an unknown murderer.
