What Torment Is About

A man running a newly opened hotel develops an obsessive certainty that his wife is unfaithful and begins hunting for proof. Claude Chabrol keeps the film entirely inside the husband's head, so the audience sees nothing either, only what he believes he sees. That choice turns it from a thriller into a portrait of an illness. Whether Emmanuelle Beart's character is innocent is deliberately never settled, because to him it has stopped mattering. The pace is heavy and suffocating, exactly as required.
