L'Enfer (FR, 1994)

A hostelry keeper in rural France groundlessly begins to suspect his curvaceous, doting younger wife of infidelity, and ends up losing the proverbial completely.

Scripted initially by Clouzot in 1964, it retains a structural feel, bringing to mind Polanski's Repulsion. It ends ambiguously.

Regarded as one of late Chabrol's better pieces, it's kinda hard to know what to make of it.
