A Girl Cut in Two
On 35mm at the Clay Theater during the 51st SFIFF with Lucía, on 4 May 2008, at 18:00.
Quite removed from the ‘observationalist’ filmmaking of Le voyage du ballon rouge and Tout est pardonné, Chabrol’s latest, La fille coupée en deux is an engaging… thriller?, made by a mature director. While I haven’t seen enough of Chabrol’s films to know for sure, this seems to be the same sort of cynical look into the decadent mind-games of the ruling class that Chabrol has been making for a very long time (Les cousins was great!). I’d like to see others, because I enjoy them, but there’s nothing about Chabrol that I connect to too strongly on any level.
