Que La Bete Meure

Chabrol, 1969
Most like ‘La Boucher’. Cold, almost funny at times. Chabrol not really interested in interiority. Characters always surprising, with low key acting. Camera happy to circle about a bit here, nice outdoor framings.
Narration in book gives this personal flavour, and the story is up there with Chabrol’s (again, so far seen) most gripping. Clearly tries not to waste a shot. A sharp and entertaining picture.
