Format:DVD
Based on a script by Clouzot, the aim of this movie is to describe the patholgy and psychology of man, Francois, who succumb slowly under the weight of jealousy. This movie is amazing, and describe the psychological aspect of this "disease" in a very defined way. Clouzot has actually done a long study of the phenomenon of jealousy, it is therefore highly detailed and enlighted by Chabrol art to slow down the pace of the movie up to the point that, just like Francois, time seems to be infinite. It's a mental torture for Francois, he is prisoner of his thoughts and his mind killing the reality slowly. This movie is a must see!!!!

Format:DVD
It is difficult to not become completely engulfed in mental frenzy by this film. Basically, it is about a husband who becomes obsessed with the notion that his wife is having an affair with everybody. He follows her wherever she goes and accuses her of infidelity. He is so consumed by this belief (and we see what he sees too) that he eventually locks his wife away. By this stage he is hearing conversations in his head and had gone totally mad. Very convincing performances which leave you feeling incredulous as to this man's mental state.

Format:VHS Tape
This film has all the suspense of a Hitchcock film, it is dark, twisting its way through the misplaced jealousy of a husband, as he slowly decends into madness. Beart role as the wife is very well excecuted, as she gives off a fine performance. A film definately worth watching again and again.

Jealousy a la mode
For a study in jealousy L'Enfer (Hell) bears comparison with Hitchcock or Polanski at their best. Francois Cluzet's descent into madness is a truly great performance. Read more

Disappointing
What an odd film. Why should a happily married man suddenly become eaten up with jealousy in such an unreasonable manner? Read more
