A Girl Cut In Two

French director Claude Chabrol has been making movies for around half a century. At a pretty prodigious rate as well - one a year. His new film is A Girl Cut in Two which tells the story of a local TV weather girl who is simultaneously pursued by two very different men. "La Fille Coupee en Deux" in its French title has veteran director Chabrol's trademark black humor. Lead actress Ludivine Sagnier tells all.
