Claude Chabrol
Description:Of the hallowed group of Cahiers du cinima critics turned filmmakers who would transform French film history, Claude Chabrol (LES BONNES FEMMES) was the first to direct his own feature. His stark and absorbing landmark debut, LE BEAU SERGE, follows a successful yet sickly young man (A WOMAN IS a WOMANs Jean-Claude Brialy) who returns home to the small village where he grew up. There, he finds himself at odds with his former close friend (LES COUSINSsS Girard Blain) now unhappily married and a wretched alcoholic and the provincial life he represents. The remarkable and raw LE BEAU SERGE heralded the arrival of a cinematic titan who would go on to craft provocative, entertaining films for five more decades.
Le Beau Serge, available on Blu-Ray from Criterion, is a landmark of French cinema and the directorial debut of Claude Chabrol. This 1958 film is often credited as one of the first works to launch the French New Wave movement. The story follows François (Jean-Claude Brialy) who returns to his rural hometown and reconnects with his troubled friend Serge (Gérard Blain), exploring themes of alienation, friendship, and redemption in postwar France. Criterion?s release offers a meticulously restored transfer along with insightful bonus features that delve into the film's historical significance. Criterion is renowned for its dedication to preserving important classic and contemporary films in high-quality editions featuring extensive supplemental materials. Their releases are celebrated by cinephiles worldwide for their attention to detail and scholarly approach. Director Claude Chabrol became one of France?s most prolific filmmakers, known for masterpieces such as Les Biches and La Cérémonie. Jean-Claude Brialy was an iconic actor associated with many New Wave classics including The Cousins; Gérard Blain also starred in influential films like Le Beau Serge itself before becoming a respected director. Bernadette Lafont appears here early in her career before going on to become a symbol of liberated women in French cinema through roles like A Gorgeous Girl Like Me.
