Claude Chabrol - L--enfer -1994- -

Claude Chabrol's (1994), also known as Hell or Torment , is a psychological thriller film, not a stage piece. It stars Emmanuelle Béart and François Cluzet in a story focused on a hotel owner’s descent into morbid jealousy and madness.

As Paul’s mind fractures—he loses his job, begins drinking, and abandons all pretense of fatherhood—the hotel turns from a paradise into a prison. The final act is a brutal, one-sided war of attrition, culminating in a confrontation so quiet and so final that it haunts the viewer long after the credits roll. Claude Chabrol - L--enfer -1994-
