Set of 9 photos - LES GODELUREAUX - Lot 163

Set of 9 photos - LES GODELUREAUX Bernadette Lafont and Jean-Claude Brialy during the filming (including a scene in front of the Lipp brasserie in Paris) of Claude Chabrol’s 1961 film. 9 photos, vintage silver gelatin prints, stamped (reference number) on the back. Approximately 17.5 x 23.5 cm each. Note: Taken during the filming of Claude Chabrol’s *Les Godelureaux* in 1961, these on-set photographs immerse viewers in the elegant, cynical, and profoundly modern world of the French New Wave. Centered on Jean-Claude Brialy and Bernadette Lafont, the film portrays an idle and manipulative youth, moving between bourgeois apartments, Parisian cafés, and romantic escapades. The scenes captured in Paris—notably in front of the Brasserie Lipp—reinforce the film’s very contemporary place within the intellectual and social landscape of the Left Bank in the 1960s. With *Les Godelureaux*, Claude Chabrol continues his sharp observation of the bourgeoisie and the dynamics of emotional domination, in a style that is both refined and deliberately detached. Jean-Claude Brialy portrays one of the iconic figures of this generation of actors associated with the New Wave, while Bernadette Lafont already demonstrates her free-spirited acting style and modernity. These vintage silver-gelatin prints thus bear witness to a pivotal moment in French cinema, where urban realism, psychological sophistication, and a critical spirit converge in an immediately recognizable aesthetic.
