Inspector Lavardin (1986) - Inspector Lavardin is induced to investigate the murder of a province's notable who was taking himself as the moral guardian of his village.
L'enfer (1994) - Paul and Nelly have everything to be happy: a dream wedding and a hotel. Until Paul starts to doubt Nelly.
Madame Bovary (1991) - Based on the famous Flaubert Novel
Poulet Au Vinaigre (1985) - When a small town of Normandy begins losing its citizenry in a series of strange deaths, out-of-town police inspector Jean Lavardin is sent to investigate
Based on IMDB, Director Claude Chabrol made a lot of films - and quite a few good ones. But these five, included in a new Blue-ray box set, bored me. The stories were either mundane or sleezy.

I watch films to enjoy myself. Give me action, adventure, thrills, chills and spills. Make me laugh, sing or dance, warm my heart. Or give me someone I can root for, or some great acting, direction, or writing.
I have little interest in watching average movies about bland or unlikable people. I don't care that Madame Bovary is bored. Or that dull people in Normandy or some french village are getting murdered. Or that someone has an unhappy marriage. Or the life of an alcoholic.
Hopefully, I'll find see some better Chabrol movies.
