Question: Which film has the director died first, A Brighter Summer Day or Story Of Women?

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. 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. 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." <SEP> The beauty of Binh Duong, or A story of Tam Nuong is a 1957 Vietnamese film directed by Nguyễn Thành Châu and starring Thẩm Thúy Hằng. <SEP> The film premiered at the 45th Venice International Film Festival, in which Isabelle Huppert was awarded the prize for best actress. Story of Women is a 1988 French drama film directed by Claude Chabrol based on the true story of Marie- Louise Giraud, guillotined on July 30, 1943, for having performed 27 abortions in the Cherbourg area, and the book by Francis Szpiner. It has been cited as a favorite by filmmaker John Waters, who presented it as his annual selection within the 2008 Maryland Film Festival. <SEP> The film is an extraordinarily large project for a Chinese-language film, not only for its duration of almost four hours, but also for its involvement of more than 100 amateur actors in different roles. The English title is derived from the lyrics of Elvis Presley's "Are You Lonesome Tonight?". The film was selected as the Taiwanese entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 64th Academy Awards but was not nominated. The film addresses a great array of human-centred themes such as the eager search for guidance during adolescence, the angst resulting from social detachment, the everyday hardships of parenthood, the pursuit of a satisfying individual and collective identity together with the ennui and frustration prompted by failing to do so, the volatility of young love and friendships, the self-aggrandising tendencies commonplace in teenage-made myths, and, especially, the fatal and irreversible consequences of an aimless life and a bewildering upbringing. A Brighter Summer Day is a 1991 Taiwanese epic coming-of-age drama film directed by Edward Yang and is considered by most to be a masterpiece of contemporary cinema. Edward Yang also tackles highly sensitive political issues like the rise of Western culture to the detriment of Taiwan's traditions, the wide-spreading of unrest and violence stirred by socio-political uneasiness, the strained coexistence among social classes trying to deal with an uncertain future, the consequent yearn of migrating towards an expectedly-better country, and the proliferation of self-ruled quasi-political organisations (in this case, youth gangs) as a way to substitute an unconvincing State. <SEP> Edward Yang( November 6, 1947 – June 29, 2007) was a Taiwanese filmmaker. Yang, along with fellow auteurs Hou Hsiao -hsien and Tsai Ming- liang, was one of the leading film- makers of the Taiwanese New Wave and Taiwanese Cinema. He won the Best Director Award at Cannes for his 2000 film" Yi Yi". <SEP> Lawrence Ko( born 28 April 1977) is a Taiwanese actor. Ko made his film debut when he was four years old. He has had roles in the Edward Yang films" A Brighter Summer Day"( 1991)," Mahjong"( 1996) and" Yi Yi"( 2000), as well as the film" Lust, Caution" by Ang Lee. In 2011, he starred in the biopic" Jump Ashin!"( 2011). He also appeared in the films" Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?"( 2013)," To My Dear Granny"( 2013) and" Murmur of the Hearts"( 2015).
