I’ve always liked Chabrol’s weird blend of class hostility and Hitchcock, lesbian inter-fighting, sexual conflict and bourgeoisie blasting, but never quite “loved” it; hence I have no valuable opinion to interject (aww), but I’m looking forward to digging into the pieces from those who do, and enhancing my appreciation of his subtleties. Flick’s site especially has some very lovingly reconstructed “photoplay” versions of key scenes (Such as in LA CEREMONIE) wherein the class resentment is subtly illuminated.
