A woman smiles while eating

La Femme infidèle

Duration: 98 minutes
Dates: Sat 19 - Wed 23 Sep 2026

A leading member of the French New Wave, who came to be regarded as the 'French Hitchcock', for many years Claude Chabrol's classic thrillers have been missing from UK screens. A mid-career masterpiece within Chabrol's remarkable run of bourgeois psychological thrillers, La Femme infidèle traces the fallout following a husband’s discovery of his wife’s affair and his quiet, unnerving and devastating act of revenge.

Starring Stéphane Audran (The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, Babette’s Feast) and Michel Bouquet (Renoir, The Last Mitterrand), the film has recently been remade as Minotaur by Russian auteur Andrey Zvyagintsev which won the Grand Prix at Cannes this year.
