Dir Claude Chabrol/FR 1969/98 mins/French wEng ST Stéphane Audran, Michel Bouquet, Maurice Ronet A mid-career masterpiece within Claude Chabrol’s remarkable run of bourgeois psychological thrillers, La Femme infidèle traces the fallout after a husband’s discovery of his wife’s affair and his quiet, unnerving and devastating act of revenge. The type of film that earned Chabrol his reputation as the “French Hitchcock”, La Femme infidèle has recently been reimagined for 2026 audiences by Russian auteur Andrey Zvyagintsev under the title Minotaur.

Not the same tradition as the lineage above — a genuinely different thread to pull, if you want one.
