Le Boucher (1970)

Boucher, Le (1970, FRA/ITA) C-93m. *** D: Claude Chabrol. Starring Stéphane Audran, Jean Yanne, Antonio Passalia, Pascal Ferrone. The prototypical bourgeois crime drama by Chabrol, this is one of his most famous films. Set in a small village, film is about independent school teacher Audran and simple-minded butcher Yanne, who become friends. There's a serial killer on the loose and Audran is about to find out his identity. Chabrol also scripted this quiet observation of bourgeois manners and the face of crime. Some consider this his best film. Bizarre, disquieting score by Pierre Jansen.
