"I take everything seriously except myself,"
Claude Chabrol confided in 1972 on the ORTF.
This is one of the many quotes, almost aphorisms, collected by the journalist Laurent Bourdon in his book entitled
Comme dit Chabrol
.
Unconditional admirer of the director of
La Cérémonie
, the author has seen bigger and has also just published a sum, as summarized in the title of his ambitious and documented work:
Tout Chabrol
.
Which begins with a preface by actor François Berléand for whom the director who died on September 12, 2010 was an
affectionate and hardworking
“dad”
.
This follows, the family tree of this one and a detailed chronology of before
Le Beau Serge
, the first feature film of Chabrol with Gérard Blain en drunkard (1957-1958).
A
“pig's head”
according to the filmmaker, known as
“Chacha”
for his team.
Only child, he was conceived,
"they say"
, under the dining room table.
Hence perhaps the importance of secrecy and the unspoken in his films.
