Summary

This clear and comprehensive study is the first book-length analysis of Claude Chabrol to be published in English since 1970. It brings back into focus a giant of French cinema, a man recently described by the French film press as "possibly the greatest living French film-maker." Claude Chabrol has made more than fifty films in a career spanning forty years. This illuminating account traces the development of his film style. It contains detailed analyses of the major films, an exploration of Chabrol's concern with genre, and an awareness of his work's theoretical and political resonance.
