The credits spell out their names: Hola, Tako, Marietta, Ettore, Rocco, Mela, all of which the film assures us were unharmed and well-loved during production) in this triumphantly singular film, despite the obvious parallels to the late French…

Do you know what we call desires when they lose their savage qualities? Aspirations.
The essence of Claude Chabrol’s 1970 film Le Boucher (lit. “The Butcher”) is alluded to by its female protagonist, Hélène, a small-town schoolmarm, while out on a field trip with her students. “You must understand that the instincts, the feelings, and even the intelligence of Cro-Magnon man was definitely human,” she says, guiding the children through a cave covered in prehistoric art. “The only differences to the problem…
