Alice ou la dernière fugue (1977)

A young woman leaves her lover and ventures forth in a blinding rainstorm and becomes entangled in the strange world of an isolated villa populated with people who will not answer questions and who speak in existential riddles.

From memory: Mesmerizing and surreal fantasy, meticulously staged, Sylvia Kristel perfectly cast in the title role; one of Chabrol's best works, and probably one of hus least known as well.

 

Because of the Cats (1973)

A gang of wealthy ne'er do wells rape and terrorize women for fun and force their husbands to watch, and a police detective tries to catch them.

Basically a standard crime mystery with a quite construed plot, but interspersed with exploitative elements and with an almost psychedelic and over-the-top end sequence.
