In fact, it's a wonder this film is as good as it is - Chabrol, renowned for drunken antics on set, is remembered by Audran to have drank so much wine during the shooting of <i>The Butcher</i> one day that he had to be taken away from set on a cart! However, despite this, the film is considered to be one of the French New Wave director's greatest films, being listed on Roger Ebert's <i>Great Movies</i> list and included in Steven Schneider's <i>1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die</i>.</div>ThrillerPT1H33M152026-02-07FRfr
