Sorry for making this post so late. I was too tired and full of grilled veggies to really do anything productive after I watched the movie. Today's movie is really strange, but I fell in love with it after I gave it a chance. I watched Le Boucher/The Butcher, directed by Claude Chabrol in 1970.
I was sleepy when I started to watch it, and the first twenty minutes or so of the film was really underwhelming. I actually hated it. To be totally honest, had I not been arbitrarily forced to watch the movie, I would have stopped it after those 20 boring minutes and moved on. It was that dull. Then, everything picked up. Suddenly, there was an incredible plot. There was a horrible, creepy killer on the loose! It was eerie and strange, and I became really involved in the film, which felt so weird because I was so frustrated with it in the beginning. Normally, I always hear the classic rule that if a film doesn't hook you in the first ten minutes, you will not like the rest of it. This movie was different.
