First Chabrol in over 2 months. Based on the novel by Georges Simenon, it relates the story of the unfortunate eponymous lost soul and other characters frequenting an intriguingly bizarre and slightly seedy nighttime locale Le Trou.
Marie Trintignant is solid as the beautiful, fragile, alcoholic Betty. Notable also for the re-appearance of the still eminently presentable former sex symbol (and by this stage long time divorcee of the director), Stéphane Audran. The very ending is a tad confusing, but this film remains a slightly underrated piece from Chabrol's later period.
