Chabrol, Claude (1930- )

French film director. One of the New Wave directors, he came to the fore in the late 1950s. His works centre on murder and suspense, and include Les Cousins/The Cousins (1959), Les Bonnes Femmes/The Good Women (1960), Les Biches/Girlfriends (1968), and Le Boucher/The Butcher (1969).
