A leading member of the French New Wave, who came to be regarded as the 'French Hitchcock', for many years Claude Chabrol's classic thrillers have been missing from UK screens. A mid-career masterpiece within Chabrol's remarkable run of bourgeois psychological thrillers, La Femme infidèle traces the fallout following a husband’s discovery of his wife’s affair and his quiet, unnerving and devastating act of revenge. Starring Stéphane Audran ( The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie , Babette’s Feast ) and Michel Bouquet ( Renoir , The Last Mitterrand ), the film has recently been remade as Minotaur by Russian auteur Andrey Zvyagintsev which won the Grand Prix at Cannes this year.
