Very sad news.

my favorite film maker....the thought of no more Chabrol is a bleak one indeed.

I recall first seeing a Chabrol film over 30 years ago, Une partie de plaisir ("A Piece of Pleasure" since retitled "The Pleasure Party", I believe) and was haunted by it for days afterwards. Always found his films challenging, occasionally enigmatic, and certainly one does not seek out a Chabrol film in order to feel comfortable. And of course, having occasion to view Stephane Audran in many of his films was always a treat. RIP.
