La Femme Infidèle (15)

1968 France

Directed by Claude Chabrol

In our occasional series of classic masterpieces, we’ve selected this newly remastered domestic thriller from 1969 to coincide with London’s BFI Southbank recent Claude Chabrol season.
The film is the story of a complex marriage in which the husband Charles suspects his wife Hélène is cheating on him. Charles hires a private detective to follow Hélène who, on the pretext of visiting her beautician, frequently goes to Paris.
Described by one critic as “a brilliant ballet of repression and fear”, Chabrol’s mastery of tension and atmosphere is at its best as we witness the protagonists weave their way to a conclusion about the future of their marriage.
Superb performances portraying complex characters. ★★★★★ The Guardian.

Tickets are £6 (£1 child/student) available on the door or in advance from the Buxton Opera House box-office (01298 72190) or online.
