Reviews

The Comedy of Power

By Meremu C.

Chabrol is often labeled the French Hitchcock for his fascination with intrigue, the criminal mind, moral compromise, and guilt. [1 August 2007]

Violette Nozière (1978)

Violette, a classic French thriller that compels right at the ultra-noir first moment. [12 July 2007]

À Double Tour (1959)

By David Sanjek

À Double Tour is a visually engrossing if emotionally underwhelming thriller set in one the director's prototypically dysfunctional families. [5 January 2006]

The Flower of Evil (La Fleur Du Mal) (2003)

Claude Chabrol keeps the forces that threaten to tear the family asunder, for the most part, submerged. [3 August 2004]
