Description
One of Claude Chabrol s most acclaimed psychological thrillers,* Le Boucher stars the director s wife Stphane Audran as Hlne,* the repressed headmistress of a small village school. At a wedding,* she strikes up a conversation with the local butcher Popaul *(Jean Yanne),* which leads to a hesitant,* strictly chaste courtship,* emotionally hampered not just by their social differences but by her memories of an unsuccessful past romance and his traumatic experience of conflict in Indochina and Algeria. Things come to a head when women are found dead in assorted rural pleasure spots,* and Hlne has to confront the very real possibility that Popaul might be the murderer. But is it a case of mistaken identity And even if he s guilty,* what will she lose if she turns him in Chabrol s control of this material is masterly,* leading to a climactic confrontation that rivals anything in Les Diaboliques for palm-sweating suspense.
