| 01 • 12 Broadway Cinematheque | 04 • 12, 11 • 12 HK Film Archive A young woman who wants to achieve success in life and whose influence seduces those around her, falls for a prestigious but perverse writer, and marries a young unbalanced billionaire. In this hyper-realistic tragi-comedy, Chabrol once again points a disapproving finger at the provincial bourgeoisie and hypocrites... A sardonic tale of duality filtered-through class differences, The Girl Cut in Two heads toward a deft denouement via Claude Chabrol’s trademark black humour. The script was inspired by the New York murder of architect Stanford White in 1906. Trailer : click here |
