La Femme Infidele (15) Claude Chabrol :FILM REVIEW

For a truer, if more delicate, frisson of horror, Londoners should seek out the re-release of La Femme Infidele (1968), now showing at the Barbican in London, one of Claude Chabrol's more accomplished, if slow- burning tales of adultery and murder. Some critics claim that it was with this film that Chabrol finally assimilated the lessons of his master, Hitchcock: the disposal-of-the-corpse sequence certainly piles on the comic agony in the best tradition.
