A French director born in Paris in 1930. A movie buff by calling, he set up his first film club at the age of 13. After graduating in Arts from Paris University, he started to write in the magazine "Arts" at the start of the fifties from where he moved shortly afterwards to the editorial department of "Cahiers du Cinéma", where he worked together with Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut and Eric Rohmer. The author of an essential book on the figure of Hitchcock and some unforgettable articles, Chabrol was the first of the mythical editors at "Cahiers du Cinéma" to start directing films in 1958 with his first work Le beau Serge (Handsome Serge) which to a certain extent began what shortly afterwards was to be known as La Nouvelle Vague. Since then he had directed more than fifty films in which he has sketched an incisive ironic portrait of French society, especially of the provincial bourgeoisie. Comedy, drama, film noir, Chabrol has worked in all the genres and has left his distinctive trade mark in his films. A magnificent story-teller, he is also a exquisite gourmet who can enjoy a good meal just as much as a great film. Chabrol has been at the Donostia-San Sebastián Film Festival on several occasions: 1967 with Le Scandale (Champagne Murders); 1970, with Le boucher (The butcher); 1986 with Inspecteur Lavardin (Inspector Lavardin). The last time he was here was with Rien ne va plus (The Swindle) which won him the Golden Shell in 1997.
