Claude Chabrol Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Claude Henri Jean Chabrol (French: [klod ʃabʁɔl]; 1930–2010) was a French film director, a member of the French New Wave (nouvelle vague) group of filmmakers who first came to prominence at the end of the 1950s. Like his colleagues and contemporaries Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Éric Rohmer and Jacques Rivette, Chabrol was a critic for the influential film magazine Cahiers du cinéma before beginning his career as a film maker.Chabrol's career began with Le Beau Serge (1958), inspired by Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt (1943). Thrillers became something of a trademark for Chabrol, with an approach characterized by a distanced objectivity. This is especially apparent in Les Biches (1968), La Femme infidèle (1969), and Le Boucher (1970) – all featuring Stéphane Audran, who was his wife at the time.Sometimes characterized as a "mainstream" New Wave director, Chabrol remained prolific and popular throughout his half-century career. In 1978, he cast Isabelle Huppert as the lead in Violette Nozière. On the strength of that effort, the pair went on to others including the successful Madame Bovary (1991) and La Ceremonie (1996). Film critic John Russell Taylor has stated that "there are few directors whose films are more difficult to explain or evoke on paper, if only because so much of the overall effect turns on Chabrol's sheer hedonistic relish for the medium...Some of his films become almost private jokes, made to amuse himself." James Monaco has called Chabrol "the craftsman par excellence of the New Wave, and his variations upon a theme give us an understanding of the explicitness and precision of the language of the film that we don't get from the more varied experiments in genre of Truffaut or Godard." | Date Of Birth | June 24, 1930, 10th arrondissement, Paris, France |

| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | I'm not at all interested in who-done-its. If you conceal a character's guilt, you imply that his guilt is the most important thing about him. I want the audience to know who the murderer is, so that we can consider his personality. |
| 2 | I saw 'Snow 'White' at least 10 times between 1937 and 1940 and I think it influenced my work, a little. It was a good horror film. The death of the witch was the best thing Disney ever did. |
| 3 | I have always been fascinated by smiling killers. |
| 4 | [on divorcing Stéphane Audran] I found myself becoming more interested in her as an actress than a wife. |
| 5 | [on his movie Ophélia (1963)] I saw it recently and it was still execrable. |
| 6 | There is no new wave, only the sea. |
| 7 | Nous vivons une époque où les pizzas arrivent plus vite que la police.

| 8 | "I am a Communist, certainly, but that doesn't mean I have to make films about the wheat harvest." (1971 interview with Roger Ebert) |
| # | Fact |
|---|---|
| 1 | Was able to do several of his early movies due to the financial backing of his first wife Agnès Goute. After divorcing her to marry Stéphane Audran, it became more increasingly difficult to him to pursue the projects he wanted and he had to strive a bit for a few years, losing his production company (AJYM) as well. |
| 2 | Said that he valued very much a good sense of humour in his actors and that his collaboration with Emmanuelle Béart in L'Enfer (1994) was a difficult one because she was completely devoid of it. |
| 3 | While his wife Stéphane Audran often stated to owe everything to him, some critics have tried to claim that it was the other way around, with Chabrol's cinema benefiting a lot from the director's encounter with the actress. Chabrol himself wasn't too fond of this take on his long partnership with Audran, stating that Stéphane had been a pivotal figure in the making of Le Boucher (1970) by suggesting him to pair her with Jean Yanne for a film, but this was as far as her influence on his work went. |
| 4 | Spent several of his childhood years in Sardenne. That's where his debut film, Le beau Serge (1958), takes place. |
| 5 | Studied pharmacology and law in his youth. |
| 6 | His film La ligne de démarcation (1966) was originally intended for Anthony Mann to direct, but the latter declined the offer and recommended Chabrol instead. Chabrol took the job against the grain and once claimed that he had been drunk during most of the shooting. |
| 7 | During the shooting of Bluebeard (1963), producer Carlo Ponti was so appalled by Stéphane Audran's performance that he asked 'who's that slut who's playing Fernande?' Chabrol (who was already engaged to Audran) slapped Ponti in the face and screamed 'that's my woman!' The director and the actress married one year later. |
| 8 | He cast Micheline Presle in The Blood of Others (1984), one of the many projects he had accepted against the grain and chosen to handle in the most superficial way as possible. When Micheline asked him if he had any ideas about how she should have played her character, he replied that he didn't. The actress eventually played the role to good reviews, leading the director to tell her with self-irony that she had been much more praised than the film itself. |
| 9 | He never told which ones of his own movies were his personal favourites, comparing this kind of choice to that of a parent asked to pick a favourite son. |
| 10 | He once stated that the bus scene in The Breach (1970) where Hélène (his wife Stéphane Audran) tells her family's story to her lawyer was the occasion when he finally thought that Stéphane had become an actress. |
| 11 | James Gray is a great fan of Chabrol, having intended his noir The Yards (2000) as a homage to those of the great French director. The film opened at Cannes film festival to the audience's whistles, something that greatly angered Chabrol. |
| 12 | He was famous for his drunken antics on movie sets. Stéphane Audran remembers that, one day during the shooting of Le Boucher (1970), he drank so much wine that he had to be brought away with a cart. |
| 13 | He's well-known for the very inconsistent quality of his resume, being credited with having directed some of the best movies of French cinema along with some of the worst. His frequent collaborator, writer Paul Gégauff, claims that Chabrol didn't even bother to supervise the final editing of the movies he hadn't cared for in the first place and that he would immediately move on to something else. Having directed some infamous titles actually became a source of pride for Chabrol, although, in the documentary Grand manège: Qu'est-ce qui fait tourner Claude Chabrol? (2006), he stated that, at one point in his life, he became more careful and concerned about the quality of his projects and that he regards Death Rite (1976) and The Twist (1976) as his last movies that qualify as very bad. |
| 14 | His relationship with Stéphane Audran ended when he fell in love with his frequent collaborator Aurore Chabrol (nee Aurore Pajot). He always liked to claim that it was Stéphane to throw him into Aurore's arms as, during the shooting of Ten Days Wonder (1971), she couldn't attend his birthday dinner and jokingly suggested that he should jump on the script-girl instead. The script-girl was Aurore and the friendship between her and Claude developed into a love affection. Audran always claimed that the story isn't true. |
| 15 | He was a great gourmet. While his wife Stéphane Audran was shooting The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972), he used to prepare some delicious dishes that she would share with members of the cast and crew. |
| 16 | Les Bonnes Femmes (1960), now regarded as one of his masterworks, was a critical and commercial failure when it was originally released. In her autobiography "Le Roman de ma vie", Bernadette Lafont remembers that, at one point during the movie premiere, a viewer furiously screamed that he wanted back the 5 francs he had paid for the ticket. Chabrol, who was sitting before him, turned around and gave them to him. Also, at the end of the screening, another spectator tried to get in a fist fight with the director. The two men were separated. |
| 17 | In 2009, he stated that the three worst movies ever made are: Fanny (1961), Le jour et la nuit (1997) and his own film, The Twist (1976). |
| 18 | Fritz Lang was one of his main influences. |
| 19 | He often cast in his movies: Henri Attal (29 times), Dominique Zardi (26 times), Stéphane Audran (24 times), Thomas Chabrol (13 times), Bernadette Lafont (7 times), Michel Bouquet (7 times), Isabelle Huppert (7 times), Michel Duchaussoy (6 times), Jean-Claude Brialy (5 times), Jean-Pierre Cassel (5 times), François Cluzet (5 times), Juliette Mayniel (4 times), Jean Yanne (4 times), Maurice Ronet (4 times), Jean Carmet (4 times), Roger Hanin (3 times), Benoît Magimel (3 times), Noël Simsolo (3 times). He directed several of these actors in some TV productions as well. |
| 20 | Simenon and Balzac were his main literary sources of inspiration. |
| 21 | After completing his military service, he got his first job in the film industry in the Paris department of 20th Century Fox. |
| 22 | His murder mysteries often reflected the influence of Alfred Hitchcock, on whom he co-authored (with Eric Rohmer) a critical analysis. Many of his other films were preoccupied with the follies of the bourgeoisie. |
| 23 | He studied pharmacology at the University of Paris, before going into film-making. |
| 24 | Member of the jury at the Venice Film Festival in 2000. |
| 25 | Was a critic for Cahiers du Cinéma in the 50s. |
| 26 | Between 1978 and 1980 made commercials for Mamie Nova, R5, Gueule d'Amour and Franco Russe. |
| 27 | Biography in: John Wakeman, editor. "World Film Directors, Volume Two, 1945-1985". Pages 194-199. New York: The H.W. Wilson Company, 1988. |
| 28 | Father of Thomas Chabrol and Matthieu Chabrol. |
