Jacob
Leigh
provides

This book is the first in any language to take the full measure of Claude Chabrol's unique achievement as a filmmaker. Jacob Leigh brings together all the Chabrolian elements: humour and tragedy, involvement and distance, extreme stylisation and everyday detail, irony and critique. An indispensable companion to a rich body of work.
In this insightful and meticulous volume, Jacob Leigh provides an astute and authoritative account of a somewhat overlooked period in Chabrol's filmmaking career. Combining precise analysis with eloquent critical enquiry, this book will be indispensable to devotees of this director, of French film, and of contemporary cinema studies.
This is an elegant, eloquent and vital contribution to our understanding and appreciation of Chabrol's films. It also adds to scholarship on notions of late style, and guides the reader back to the director's work through sensitive interpretations.
A rich appreciation of Claude Chabrol illuminating with great sensitivity and detail the careful complexities of the director's late films. Leigh articulates the intricacies of Chabrol's style with great skill, providing a meticulous understanding of his sophisticated and playful construction of fictional worlds that challenge the viewer through stylised form and uncomfortable ambivalence. Essential reading for anyone interested in Chabrol, French cinema at the turn of the 21st Century or the contemporary development of melodrama, this book further highlights the value of an aesthetic understanding for our engagement with film.
