But Chabrol's films are both deceptively accessible and deeply reflexive, and in this innovative reappraisal of his filmography Catherine Dousteyssier-Khoze explores the Chabrol who was influenced by Balzac, Magritte and Stanley Kubrick. Bringing to the fore Chabrol's 'aesthetic of opacity', the book deconstructs the apparent clarity and comfort of his chosen genre, encouraging the viewer to reflect on the relationship between illusion and reality, and the status of the film image itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Dousteyssier-Khoze\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474431860\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474431866\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Catherine Dousteyssier-Khoze","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44065831715071,"sku":"9781474431866","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4df84944-fc40-47b0-aa72-cd1a5fc4004f.jpg?v=1685403759","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/claude-chabrols-aesthetics-of-opacity-catherine-dousteyssier-khoze-9781474431866","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
