“By Claude Chabrol. I remember the very first screening of this in the grand auditorium of the Sorbonne. It was the first film of the Nouvelle Vague. Actually, I, at the time working with Jean-Pierre Melville, I thought it was a bit amateurish and they didn't quite understand how great it was just because of that. Wonderful.”
