Reviews:

the French bourgeoisie at their worst
A particularly difficult film to comment upon without giving away vital plot elements but it has to be one of the director’s finest. It has the suspense he can work so well, it has the the French bourgeoisie at their worst, it has gentle eroticism and sudden brutality.

We also have here superb story telling combined with high emotional content and a continuous switchback ride of twist and turns, even though we, seemingly,have the whole plot of the film placed openly before us within minutes of the opening credits.

Meticulously directed, there is not a superfluous scene, nor even a superfluous gesture. It is pure riveting cinema from start to finish

Great performances, great camera-work, great Chabrol.

“The fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both:”
The title “This man must die” and the original French title “The Beast must die” are interrelated with a Biblical verse: Ecclesiastes 3:19. It reads thus “Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless.” The book was written by poet author Cecil Day Lewis under a pen name Nicholas Blake. In the book, there is a major detective. Chabrol deletes that figure. The closest equivalent in the film is a Police Commissioner played by the major French director Maurice Piaiat (without his beard.)

The film is not Chabrol’s best but is filled with ironies–e.g. the beast kills a boy, whose real-life brother plays the character who turns into a killer. Is everything meaningless?
