Claude Chabrol (1930-2010)

I have just heard about the death of Chabrol. I cannot remember one of his films I did not like, only some I liked less. Hommage then to one of the first of the New Wave french directors. He was actor, screen-writer, director, producer. He directed or produced at least one movie a year since his first (as director) in 1959 (Le Beau Serge). His last was Bellamy (2009) as director and screen-writer.
