Chabrol - A Tribute to the Master: Le Boucher

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Starring Stephane Audran, Jean Yanne
A short season of films by Claude Chabrol, a fervent admirer of Hitchcock, opens with the psychological thriller which many people consider his masterpiece.

After 15 years in the army, Popaul Thomas returns to Perigord to run his late father's butcher's shop. He meets the local schoolteacher, Helene Marcoux, and an uncertain, Platonic relationship begins. Then, in a nearby village, a young girl is found stabbed to death.
