The Colour of Lies (Chabrol, 1999): BFI Southbank, NFT2, 3.10pm
This film is part of the Claude Chabrol season at BFI Southbank. The other screening of the film on September 26th is detailed here.BFI Southbank introduction:
When a young girl is found murdered in a small Breton coastal town,
suspicion falls on a local painter – a man of volatile temperament and
uncertain alibi – as the community begins to turn on itself. Fans of
Thomas Vinterberg’s The Hunt will recognise much here. However, Chabrol
is less interested in identifying the killer than in capturing the
poisonous social atmosphere that the crime unleashes: the rumour, the
prejudice and the quiet savagery of village life.
Here (and above) is the trailer.
