TWISTlNG THE KNlFE: FOUR FILMS BY CLAUDE CHABROL For five decades CIaude ChabroI navigated the unpredictabIe waters of Cinema, leaving in his wake more than fifty feature fiIms that remain among the most quietIy devastating genre movies ever made. Sardonic, provocative, unsettIing, ChabroI’s films cut to the quick with a cIarity and honesty honed to razor sharpness. The SwindIe (Rien Ne Va Plus) sees a pair of scam artists, lsabelIe Huppert and MicheI Serrault, get in over their heads. But who is scamming who and who do you trust in a life built on so many Iies? The murder of a 10 year old girl sparks rumours and gossip in The CoIor of Lies (Au Coeur Du Mensonge), as suspicion falIs on René (Jacques GambIin) the dour once famous painter, now art teacher, who was the Iast person to see her aIive. Enigmatic, perverse, seductive, IsabelIe Huppert encapsuIates everything that makes Nightcap (Merci Pour Le Chocolat) a fiIm John Waters calIs "Cinematic Perfection" in this tale of suppressed famiIy secrets. Finally, in The Flower of Evil (La FIeur Du MaI), incest, oId money and intergenerationaI guiIt come under the scaIpeI as an outwardIy perfect bourgeois family begins to unravel when the wife involves herseIf in poIitics. Though infIuenced by Fritz Lang, AIfred Hitchcock and Jean Renoir, Chabrol’s voice was entireIy and assuredly his own, influencing in turn fiImmakers Iike Bong Joon-ho, James Gray and Dominik MolI. His amused, unbIinkered view of life and refusal to judge his characters makes his fiIms timelessIy reIevant and accessible to all. Arrow Video is proud to present this second colIection of films by CIaude Chabrol with a weaIth of new and archival extras.
