Chabrol and De Palma are often cited as the directors most influenced by Hitchcock. 

Consider the scene in this film where Charles takes Gabrielle to an exclusive private club and asks her to follow him down a corridor. For what purpose? We know it must be sexual, but Chabrol never shows us. This is the Hitchcock technique of building curiosity by deferring action. 

(Bomb explodes under table equals action. Bomb is under table but it doesn't explode equals suspense.) 

I was also reminded of the brothel client's little lacquered box in Bunuel's "Belle de Jour." By never showing us what it contains, he generates enormous erotic curiosity.
