You might expect Claude Chabrol’s Blue Panther to be a lighthearted 1965 eurospy romp but it isn't. Chabrol is trying to deconstruct the genre and play other similar games. If that appeals to you you'll love the film. If not, you'll be bored.

from 'le beau serge' to 'bellamy', claude strove to provide criminal context. perhaps, it was his inherent sense of justice that drove him.
a self-proclaimed marxist, he said, 'i'm on the left because i'm not on the right. it's that simple.'

even the most reprehensible of his characters somehow elicits at least a moment of pity or understanding. it's a theme that runs through damned near every one of his 60-strong body of work - & you'll often find it intertwined with a healthy dollop of mischief & a cynical eye toward his bourgeoisie upbringing.

: in 'the eye of vichy', claude chabrol (born in 1930) made a film whose purpose was - perhaps, with more than a hint of clin d'oeil - to show how humans can easily be influenced (brainwashed, even) by images. this, to me, is emblematic of chabrol's magic as a filmmaker.
it would be both convenient & easy to categorise him as a maven of mainstream 'polar'; but there's always so much more to his stories. [thread-ish]

early sublime Carpenter, early Chabrol, foul-mouthed Aubrey Plaza, and some modern horror. Thoroughly enjoyed each of these!

THE COLOR OF LIES (1999): Latest Claude Chabrol film for me was this "psychological mystery" of an artist/teacher facing suspicion after his student is found murdered. Really less about the murder than the unraveling of the teacher, his marriage, and his small town as time marches on and the crime remains unsolved. Sandrine Bonnaire excellent as the wife. Her quiet demeanor gives her moments of rage and emotion that much more punctuation.
