Claude Chabrol
Claude Henri Jean Chabrol( 24 June 1930 – 12 September 2010) was a French film director and 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 Cérémonie"( 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 do n't get from the more varied experiments in genre of Truffaut or Godard."
Perder es cuestión de método
Perder es Cuestión de Método is a 2005 film directed by Sergio Cabrera, and starring Daniel Gimenez Cacho, Cesar Mora, Martina García, Victor Mallarino and Sain Castro.
A grim history, but also human and fun, led by Colombian Sergio Cabrera( Golpe de estadio, La Estrategia del Caracol), the movie exposes the corruption rampant in the South American country- and the unholy nexus between Politicians, Land Developers, the mafia and the Military Police.
Based on the novel" Method of Losing" by Santiago Gamboa( the quote is from Juan Sepulveda:" Defeat is often a Question of Method," which in the movie is put into the mouth of the ageing and psychotic mentor of the journalist, Guzman).
The novel was adapted by screenwriter Jorge Goldenberg( Ilona Arrives with the Rain), we are shown a Colombia from a very particular angle: through the daily struggle between the romantic and the nihilistic.
Daniel Jiménez Cacho( La Mala Educación) plays the journalist Victor Silampa and Martina Garcia( Golpe de Estadio) plays the 16- year- old prostitute Quica, while Cesar Mora, in a role worthy of an Oscar- nomination, plays Sancho Panza to the journalist's Don Quixote, as Estupinan- probably the most human and sympathetic of all the characters- representing the Colombian" Everyman".
