Description

From Claude Charlo, the legendary director of Les Bones Femmes, Les Birches, Betty and Lender. This stylish psychological thriller has such labyrinthine plotting that many critics, upon the film’s original release, found it too confusing. Christine Belling (Yvonne Fornax, La Dolce Vita) tries to convince her husband’s friend Paul Wagner (Maurice Rennet, The Unfaithful Wife) to sell his venerable champagne business to an American company and asks her husband Chris (Anthony Perkins, Psycho) to persuade the stubborn Paul. While on a trip to Hamburg, Paul picks up a girl in a restaurant—the next morning, the girl turns up dead, and Paul can’t remember what happened. Chris, who becomes aware of the incident, promptly tells his wife, and she tries to blackmail Paul into signing a deal with the Americans. But when another woman turns up dead, and again Paul is the last person to see her alive, Paul begins questioning his own sanity. Legendary actress Stephaney Audrain (Babette’s Feast) and great character actor Henry Jones (Support Your Local Sheriff! ) co-star in this Hitchcock Ian thriller beautifully shot in Scope by Jean Rapier (Cold Sweat, Madame Bovary). Special Features: -Audio Commentary by Film Historians Howard S.

Cohen Film Collection is proud to present for the first time in HD, a collection of films by Claude Chabrol, one of the most prolific and widely respected of French film directors. As one of the prime instigators of the French New Wave, Chabrol directed lean narrative films whose keenly observed realism typically drew inspiration from the suspense film and psychological thriller. Betty: In one of Chabrol's darkest dramas, Marie Trintignant gives an astonishing performance as Betty, a woman whose alcohol-soaked life has finally fallen to pieces. She fortunately falls under the care of an older woman (Stephane Audran) with a similar background, but her benefactor's sympathies may be misplaced. Torment: Based on a script by Henri-Georges Clouzot, Chabrol explores the point at which jealousy and obsession turn to madness. François Cluzet plays Paul, a young husband who, along with his beautiful wife (Emmanuelle Béart at her sexiest) run a country hotel. Paul soon becomes obsessed wit

Claude Chabrol’s forty-ninth feature stands as the crowning achievement of his prolific career—a coolly riveting study of class dynamics, the psychology of crime, and the sordid secrets lurking beneath the veneer of everyday life. A fascinatingly enigmatic, César Award–winning Isabelle Huppert is the chaotic yin to Sandrine Bonnaire’s tightly coiled yang. They are, respectively, a small-town postal worker and a maid to a wealthy family, a pair of outsiders who form a mysterious alliance that gradually, almost imperceptibly, goes haywire. With a master’s control of sound, editing, and suspense, Chabrol constructs a tour de force of sustained tension that delivers each brilliant shock with ice-pick precision. BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES New 4K digital restoration, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack Selected-scene commentary featuring director Claude Chabrol New introduction by filmmaker Bong Joon Ho Making-of program Archival interviews with Chabrol, actors Isabelle Huppert and Sandrine Bonnaire, and cowriter Caroline Eliacheff Episode of the Criterion Channel series Observations on Film Art about the use of offscreen sound Trailer New English subtitle translation PLUS: An essay by crime-fiction and true-crime expert Sarah Weinman

*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!* In 1965, young producer Barbet Schroeder supplied a 16mm camera, along with color film stock, to six friends and asked them to each make a short film about a Parisian neighborhood. The resulting films were shot quickly, with low budgets, improvised takes, and live sound. According to the Chicago Reader, “the Rouch, Chabrol, and Rohmer segments shouldn’t be missed,” and The New Yorker says Rouch’s film is “one of the greatest short films ever made.” Gorgeously restored in 2K, these six vignettes offer captivating and varied glimpses of the City of Lights: "Saint Germain des Prés" by Jean Douchet "Gare du Nord" by Jean Rouch "Rue Saint Denis" by Jean-Daniel Pollet "Place de l'Étoile" by Éric Rohmer "Montparnasse et Levallois" by Jean-Luc Godard "La Muette" by Claude Chabrol Bonus Features: 1. 1965 interviews with Barbet Schroeder, Jean Rouch and Éric Rohmer.
