- This monograph of c.80,000 words is the result of seven years’ research. It constitutes the first major study of Claude Chabrol (one of France’s most important and prolific directors) that encompasses his overall filmography [1958-2009]. Research for this output necessitated looking into more than fifty full-length films by Chabrol. In order to provide a holistic overview of the director’s mosaic-like œuvre and aesthetics, the book draws on a variety of critical and theoretical sources (Deleuze’s crystal-image and Foucault’s heterotopia underpin the conceptualisation of opacity) and engages extensively with 19th-century literature (Balzac).
