Poster in Paris MetroClaude Chabrol’s La Fille coupée en deux is scheduled to open in France on August 8. (No English title has been selected yet, but the French loosely translates as ‘The Girl Cut in Two.’) He co-wrote the screenplay with Cécile Maistre, who’d been assistant director on most of Chabrol’s pictures since Madame Bovary (1991). Other familiar names working again with the director are Eduardo Serra (cinematographer), Monique Fardoulis (editor), and son Matthieu Chabrol (music). Ludivine Sagnier (Swimming Pool) stars in her first film for the director, along with Chabrol veterans Benoît Magimel (La Demoiselle d'honneur, La Fleur du mal), François Berléand (L’Ivresse du pouvoir), and Mathilda May (Le Cri du hibou). No word yet on a North American release.

What a title! I looks like I need to move double-time in my Chabrol screenings.
The film poster is fantastic!
Yes, that art and design are uncharacteristic for a Chabrol film. I'm curious how the American distributor will promote it.
I think the poster for this film does look amazing. It also has a fantastic cast with some beautiful actresses, such as Mathilda May and Ludivine Sagnier, and also one of my favorite French actors, Francois Berleand.
as a french fan of chabrol, i'm always surprised to see you review his films.
it's like seeing on a main japanese channel a report on the bakery of the neighbourhood i live in.
strange and pleasing.
the sensation of a small interconnected world.
and i never took the time to thank you for the "chinatown" score, that is maybe 2 or 3 years ago.
A big thank you for this one.
You're welcome, molo. The Chinatown soundtrack is one of my favorites!
