"L'Enfer" peers into the lives of a married-with-kid couple who run a resort hotel. She is beautiful and vivacious and he is jealous. As the film wears on, it appears we're supposed to believe the husband's jealousy slowly morphs into insanity though we're increasingly confronted with what seem to be his visions of his wife in compromising situations until the end when circumstance and a messy montage leave us confused and not knowing what to think. The result is a superficial story of a man being consumed with jealousy and some underlying theme which serves only to confound and make the denouement unsatisfying. An okay drama recommended for Chabrol fans only. (C+)
Note - The DVD is watched had poor quality remastering with less than true color; the speckles, zits, and lines of dusty and scratched film; and abrupt cuts which appeared to be poor editing.
