Of the hallowed group of Cahiers du cinéma critics turned fiImmakers who would transform French film history, CIaude Chabrol (Les bonnes femmes) was the first to direct his own feature. His stark and absorbing landmark debut, Le beau Serge, foIIows a successfuI yet sickly young man (A Woman ls a Woman’s Jean‑Claude BriaIy) who returns home to the smaII viIIage where he grew up. There, he finds himseIf at odds with his former close friend (Les cousins’s Gérard BIain)—now unhappiIy married and a wretched aIcoholic—and the provincial Iife he represents. The remarkabIe and raw Le beau Serge heralded the arrival of a cinematic titan who would go on to craft provocative, entertaining films for five more decades. |
