different from the English master; in fact, Claude Chabrol is, if anything, the anti-Hitchcock. There are no chases, frenetic camerawork, pounding music to elevate the pulse. Chabrol's intent is to work from the inside out.
"The Unfaithful Wife," starring his favorite and very talented actress Stephane Audrane, shows her as a rather unappreciated wife who--- no great surprise in a French film!--- is having an affair with an almost equally diffident suitor. But her life, except for the rather anemic love life, seems exemplary in all other particulars: her husband is conscientious, loving; their 10-year old child is an excellent student, equally doting and doted upon.
And then..... an almost insignificant event triggers the husband's suspicions, with tragic results for all.
A perfect gem.
