Overview: The Complete Chabrol? More than a promise, a challenge! It must be said that in over 50 years of career, the man has been anything but idle: fifty-seven films, of course, but also twenty-four television films, two theatre productions, performances as an actor, not to mention all the articles previously written for Cahiers du Cinéma. And to think that along the way, he abandoned some projects… True to its title, The Complete Chabrol presents all of this in a joyful and well-documented book. A methodical work that examines each film, placing it in its historical context, biographical details, and the critical reception—sometimes biting—of each one. Above all, The Complete Chabrol captures the essence: the personality of this extraordinary man. More than 3,500 quotes, from Chabrol himself as well as from those close to him, paint a portrait of the man behind Beau Serge and La Cérémonie, lively, brilliant, and easily sarcastic. A charming man, devoted to his loyal technicians, his favourite actors, and his family, with whom he loved working so much. Chabrol in all his life! A journalist and radio personality, Laurent Bourdon is notably the author of the Hitchcock Dictionary (Larousse, 2007) – with a preface by Claude Chabrol! –, Remakes (Larousse, 2012), Definitively Belmondo (Larousse, 2017), Gems of Film Criticism (Dunod, 2018), and As Claude Chabrol Said (LettMotif, 2020), with a preface by François Berléand.
