Il tagliagole

A Parisian suburb in the damp tail-end of winter, the butcher’s chilled steel cleaver ringing one more time. An unassuming butcher shares a nightly table with a prim schoolteacher while above their street a blade cuts loose. Claude Chabrol’s crime-classic sharpens tension like the honed edge it hides.
