Paul, an irritable and stressed-out hotel manager, begins to gradually develop paranoid delusions about his wife’s infidelity. As he succumbs to green-eyed jealousy, his life starts to crumble. Each step on his downward spiral to madness seems to accelerate, driving him further along the path to a personal hell. Finally, the former shell of his personality cracks completely, with tragic consequences.

Many thanks to Petri for the help to create English subtitles for the Béart interview.
Another rotten movie from Chabrol. It’s so obvious that the guy is insane that one wonders what keeps his wife from getting the hell out. It’s ridiculous, totally unbelievable, and it never ends. Sometimes I wonder if the glow of the Nouvelle Vague rubbed off on Chabrol just to the degree that he could forge a career without a trace of wit or common sense.
Never seen this, but after it having popped up in ads for many years, and after reading Grizzard’s comment, I get curious. Thanks, Rare!
Having attended one of Serge Bromberg’s in-person events screening & lecturing about his collagist reconstructions of the original fragments with Romy & etc. … I have to agree that this version doesn’t hold a candle to what Clouzot was trying to do with this material … For my own self I happen to be a huge Chabrol fan, but would admit that this wasn’t one of his most successful outings, albeit by no means devoid of interest
