The Late Films of Claude Chabrol
Bloomsbury Academic USA (Verlag)
978-1-5013-1249-6 (ISBN)
Key areas of focus includes Chabrol’s careful depiction of upper-class settings in films such as La Cérémonie (1995), Merci pour le chocolat (2000) and La Fille coupée 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.
