"In the 1960s and early '70s, Claude Chabrol was celebrated as the Gallic Hitchcock for his crisp, character-rich thrillers. La Cérémonie, his 1997 hit adapted from Ruth Rendell's novel A Judgement in Stone, is a return to form, an assured domestic drama set in the upper-class household of the kind but condescending Lelievres family. Sandrine Bonnaire, excellent in an enigmatic, uncommunicative role, stars as their new, neurotically sil ..."

"It's a mixed blessing, but Claude Chabrol's 1991 adaptation of Madame Bovary can at least claim a proper French pedigree in its fidelity to Flaubert's literary classic. It's certainly more faithful than Madame herself, played here with icy determination by Isabelle Huppert. Frustrated, repressed, and desperate for any opportunity to break free of her numbing marital bondage, the wife of Dr. Bovary finds her chance in the affections of R ..."
"This film explores one of the favorite issues of Chabrol. The decadence of a wealthy family involved into a dark affair respect the mistress of a bored husband and a dysfunctional family.
This bored marriage has two sons, a beautiful daughter who is in love with a good for nothing (Jean Paul Belmondo) who has an unemployed and unworried friend, and his brother a man of good manners and weird behavior."

"En finissant ce livre, Claude Chabrol était habité d'une crainte, celle de paraître sympathique. Hélas pour lui, il semble que celle-ci ait été parfaitement fondée. En lisant ces , on retrouve en effet avec bonheur toute la malice et l'esprit du metteur en scène. En particulier son coup d'il gourmand et impitoyable lorsqu'il s'agit de déceler le ridicule de nos murs en général, mais aussi de l'argent roi, de la bourgeoisie, des uvres hu ..."
