If you loved El infierno (L'Enfer), try El carnicero
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Claude Chabrol, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to El infierno (L'Enfer), the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What El carnicero is
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.
