In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations made to AMDA on their website, www.amda-pompe.org. www.lifecelebration.com By Jenny Barchfield ASSOCIATED PRESS PARIS French director Claude Chabrol, 80, one of the founders of the New Wave movement whose films probed the latent malice beneath the placid surface of bourgeois life, died Sunday. Paris City Hall officials confirmed that Chabrol died, but they declined to provide any details, including the cause of death. A prolific director, Chabrol made more than 70 films and TV productions during his more than half-century-long career. His first movie, 1958's Le Beau Serge, won him considerable critical acclaim and was widely considered a manifesto for the New Wave, or Nouvelle vague movement which reinvented the codes of filmmaking and revolutionized cinema starting in the late 1950s.

The influential movement also included directors Francois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard. His movies focused on the French bourgeoisie, lifting the facade of respectability to reveal the hypocrisy, violence, and loathing simmering below the surface. Often suspenseful, his work drew comparisons to Alfred Hitchcock's. President Nicolas Sarkozy compared Chabrol to two giants of French letters, Rabelais and Balzac. Prime Minister Francois Fillon called him a "great director, producer, and screenwriter one of the grand figures of the Nouvelle vague, which revolutionized the style and techniques of cinema by looking at real experience, true life, that which is indiscreet and subtle French cinema has lost one of its maestros," Fillon said.

Thierry Fremaux, who runs the Cannes Film Festival, told i-Tele news channel that Chabrol "had a much more classic style" than some of the other, more experimental New Wave filmmakers. "But in this classicism there was such an audacity, such freedom and erudition that I think and history will tell that his thrillers will remain something totally unique in French cinema." Speaking on France-Info radio, Fremaux called Chabrol's death "a real shock because he was 80 years old but he continued to work, and the energy, feeling, and joie de vivre that he'd always shown made you think he'd always be around." "Claude Chabrol is part of our national patrimony for his films and also for his per- AMABILE CAROL ANN on September 10, 2010, of Broomall, formerly of 49th St. Beloved daughter of the late Mary (nee Croce) and Vincent J.

He wrote some original scripts, but he also adapted classics of French literature, including Madame Bovary (1991) and stories by Guy de Maupassant, for the cinema and for television. Chabrol's top films included Les Biches, or Bad Girls, from 1968 and 1970's The Butcher, as well as the 2000 mystery Merci pour le choco-lat, with actress Isabelle Hup-pert, one of his favorite actresses who starred early on in her career in Chabrol's Violette Noziere (1978) and Story of Women (1988). Chabrol's last feature film, Bellamy featuring another giant of French cinema, Gerard Depardieu came out last year. Chabrol was born in Paris on June 24, 1930. The son of a pharmacist, he said he "completely" belonged to the bourgeois social milieu that became the fodder for his films "otherwise I wouldn't have dared" depict it, Chabrol said in a 1987 interview.

The bourgeois "are always amusing, and they can also be very mean, so it's just marvelous." As a young man, he studied literature and law before writing movie reviews. He had not yet turned 30 when Le Beau Serge, the story of a man's return to his native village after a long absence, was released to critical acclaim. A bon vivant and longtime smoker, Chabrol was rarely seen without his trademark pipe or Cuban cigar even on the set. He was also a joker and liked to ham it up for the cameras, often making grimaces and funny faces while on the red carpet. Chabrol also acted, making Hitchcock-style cameos in many of his films, as well as those by other directors.

In 2004, he was awarded the European Film Award for the body of his work and a year later received a top honor from the Academie Francaise. Chabrol was married three times and had three sons.

Still, Ms. Bohley and other activists that year occupied the archives of the Stasi, East Germany's secret police ultimately helping ensure that the public would be granted access to them.

"For many, including for me, her courage and her directness were exemplary," she said. "I remember her as a personality who made possible the peaceful revolution and the road to German unity."
