Twisting the Knife: Four Films by Claude Chabrol will be available on Blu-ray April 26th from Arrow Video
For five decades Claude Chabrol navigated the unpredictable waters of Cinema, leaving in his wake fifty-five feature films that remain among the most quietly devastating genre movies ever made.
The Swindle sees Chabrol at perhaps his most playful as a pair of scam artists, Isabelle Huppert and Michel Serrault, get in over their heads. But who is scamming who and who do you trust in a life built on so many lies? The murder of a 10-year-old girl sparks rumors and gossip in The Color of Lies, as suspicion falls on René (Jacques Gamblin) the dour once famous painter, now art teacher, who was the last person to see her alive.

And, like Broadchurch does some 15 years later, acclaimed director Claude Chabrol’s film focuses more on how the murder and its investigation affect a small community than on the actual investigation itself.

The Color of Lies is one of the later movies of renowned New Wave French filmmaker Claude Chabrol (Les Cousins).
The thriller stars Sandrine Bonnaire (Queen to Play) as Vivianne, the beloved wife of Rene (Jacques Gamblin, Inspector Bellamy), a painter and art teacher who’s under suspicion when the body of 10-year-old girl is found.
