You could say the same about Chabrol. I just go by the director's best work and try as hard as I can to surpress my memories of Le Décade prodigieuse (1971) and Melinda and Melinda. That said, I wouldn't consider him a favorite director either.

I count Chabrol among my favorites, but then again, I've only really seen his lionized films... innocent 'til proven guilty, I guess. Though I did think A Girl Cut in Two was pretty mediocre despite solid reviews. I haven't seen the one you mentioned, but he made the fantastic Juste Avant la Nuit in the same year, so that counts for something (as well as Le Boucher the previous year).

Hmm, I thought I was relatively alone in not thinking highly of Deconstructing Harry. Glad that's not the case.

I really need to see more. Don't know where else to go though.

Maybe some day there will be a thread where everyone rates all of his films, so you could see what other films MatchCutters consider worth watching...
