POULET AU VINAIGRE
(aka COP AU VIN)
dir. Claude Chabrol, 1985
110 mins. France.
In French with English subtitles.
MONDAY, JANUARY 9 – 7:30 PM
TUESDAY, JANUARY 31 – 7:30 PM
A deliberately-paced dark comedy/murder mystery whodunit which begins as a tale of class struggle when a group of three wealthy land-developers try pressuring a young postman and his handicapped mother (played by Chabrol’s real-life wife) to sell their family home. Filled with conspiracy, blackmail and pranks gone too far, POULET AU VINAIGRE is an indictment of the wealthy starring an eccentric ensemble cast, each with their own duplicitous intentions.
