About this event
(Just Before Nightfall) Dir Claude Chabrol/FR IT 1971/101 mins/French wEng ST Michel Bouquet, Stéphane Audran A man accidentally kills his mistress and returns to his ordinary life, waiting, with mounting dread, to be found out. But nobody seems to be looking – and his wife has good reason for wanting him to remain quiet. Claude Chabrol’s most pitiless examination of bourgeois self-preservation is a film in which the real horror lies not in guilt but in the ease with which it can be absorbed.
