At Festival Lumi\u00e8re in Lyon (France), Paris-based mk2 Films has just launched the promotion of a film cycle called \u201cSuspense in the Female Form\u201d<\/a> dedicated to Claude Chabrol and the female heroines of his films.<\/p>\n

10 years after the passing of \u201cFrance\u2019s master of suspense\u201d, this cycle of 5 features shines a fresh new light on the true heroes of these films: women.<\/p>\n

The company has revealed a slate of 6 artworks designed by US artist Akiko Stehrenberger<\/a> as well as a new trailer (featuring electronic music from French maestro Vitalic).<\/p>\n

The film cycle includes 5 films restored in 4K from the original negatives: THE TORMENT<\/a> (1994), A JUDGEMENT IN STONE<\/a> (1995), THE SWINDLE<\/a> (1997), NIGHTCAP<\/a> (2000), THE FLOWER OF EVIL<\/a> (2002).<\/p>\n

Cinephiles from around the world have praised this announcement and the new posters design. One of the founders of French Nouvelle Vague (alongside Fran\u00e7ois Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Alain Resnais and Agn\u00e8s Varda), Claude Chabrol soon became known as the \u201cFrench Hitchcock\u201d for his suspenseful feature films which remain references for the young generation of filmmakers. Palme d\u2019or winner Bong Joon-ho says: \u201cClaude Chabrol\u2019s work has a special charm and influenced my own work. A unique vibe which makes his films eternal<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

About Akiko Stehrenberger<\/p>\n

Akiko Stehrenberger is a 15-time CLIO Award winning movie poster illustrator, art director and designer, who works with directors, movie studios, advertising and movie advertising agencies.<\/p>\n

Her intention for “Claude Chabrol\u2019s Suspense in the Female Form<\/a>” retrospective was finding a way to tie all films together as a series, both conceptually and artistically. She achieved this by creating singular images with a visual trick to represent each storyline, and painting\u00a0them in a style that felt both feminine yet full of tension and suspense:<\/p>\n

THE TORMENT<\/a>\u00a0\u201cThe bra held together by a padlock symbolizes the control and jealousy Paul felt for Nelly.\u201d<\/p>\n

A JUDGEMENT IN STONE<\/a>\u00a0\u201cMerging lipstick with shotgun shells represents the two dangerous yet best women friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

THE SWINDLE<\/a>\u00a0\u201cI wanted to show a couple tied together by crime and their love for one another.\u201d<\/p>\n

NIGHTCAP<\/a>\u00a0\u201cThe shape of Marie-Claire’s auburn hairstyle merges nicely into the shape of the piano in the story.\u201d<\/p>\n

THE FLOWER OF EVIL<\/a>\u00a0\u201cMaking a ballot box into a home hints at the many secrets of a political family.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
