Philosophical Screens: Le Boucher

The Philosophical Screens team shine a light on arguably Claude Chabrol’s finest film.

  • Total running time 60min

Widely considered Chabrol’s masterpiece, Le Boucher raises questions that cut to the heart of the filmmaker’s entire project: the nature of violence, the terrible intimacy between victim and perpetrator, and the limits of knowledge. Join our regular film philosophers Lucy Bolton, Ben Tyrer and Catherine Wheatley for a close-up look at a film that rewards and resists analysis in equal measure.

Free to ticket holders of Le Boucher + intro on Wednesday 9 September 18:10 NFT2, otherwise £6.50 (must be booked in advance due to capacity).
