I've been watching movies by an interesting French director called Claude Chabrol. He's considered a kind of "French Hitchcock", although I guess Henri-Georges Clouzot was called that too. He makes really interesting little suspense films that are short on action but full of interesting characters. Sometimes the suspense is more psychological than anything. And I guess some people may find his movies boring but I find them very interesting. And in this era of overblown crap like "Firewall" and those Ashley Judd preposterous thrillers, it is kind of refreshing to see small movies about regular people facing suspenseful situations.
