(France) Five contemporary thrillers by Claude Chabrol, called "the Gallic Hitchcock" because of his fascination with the Master of Suspense and his career defining work in the suspense genre.
Cop Au Vin (1985), starring Jean Poiret as eccentric lone wolf Inspector Lavardin, is a lightfingered little mystery set in a village of poisonous personalities and nasty little conspiracies, and the actor and director reunited for the sequel Inspecteur Lavardin (1986), which takes him to a cozy seaside village where a Catholic author has been murdered. Marie Trintignant stars as Betty (1992), a young wife recently abandoned by her husband who spins her tale to an older woman (Stephane Audran), in the adaptation of the Georges Simenon novel. The mesmerizing Valeria Bruni Tedeschi plays the investigating cop in the murder mystery The Color of Lies (1999) and Sandrine Bonnaire and Jacques Gamblin are the prime suspects. The harrowing L’Enfer (1995), directed by Chabrol from an unfilmed screenplay by Henri-George Clouzot, is one the director's most mesmerizing and chilling thrillers. Francois Cluzet stars as a happily married man who becomes demented with jealousy when his suspicion that this sexy wife (Emmanuelle Beart) take over his mind and body.
