Cinematic Threads
I watched a lot of Chabrol. I specifically re-watched a bunch of his domestic thrillers, like 'La Femme infidèle' and 'Les Biches.' His approach to genre, where it’s more about the characters and their messy emotional lives than it is about the plot mechanics, was a huge inspiration.
