Being considered a prankster and a gourmet doesn't bother me at all. They could have perfectly made me a needy alcoholic, I would have liked it less!
And when you meet God for the first time, what will you say to him? - Hey, it's you!
Bullshit is more interesting than intelligence, because it is limitless.
Of Handsome Serge To Bellamy Passing by let the beast die And Ceremony, Claude Chabrol is more than fifty years of cinema. A filmmaker known and also recognized for his malice, his intelligence and his impertinence. Chabrol was outspoken and he never hesitated to give his opinion when asked!
In As Claude Chabrol said, more than 250 quotes, spread throughout his career, have been carefully compiled. All the joker spirit of Chabrol restored in a small essential work.
Everything goes there: cinema of course, but also bullshit, the bourgeoisie, women, politics, religion, life in general. This great moralist from Chabrol is firing on all cylinders, including himself.
A unique look and a reading that is as intelligent as it is amusing, which proves to be beneficial and of public utility.
