Chabrol talks with Jean Douchet of his thoughts on cinema, directing and camera movements. In his career, his great ambition was succeding in combining the vigor of Renoir with the rigor of Lang. He tries to be as clear as possible in his work, endeavoring to make but a few shots, and making one shot which sums up the entire film. He now thinks of having achieved full control over what he wants from a film and he has arrived at a stage where he hopes he has developed a true style.
