Descente aux Enfers (1986)
Country: FR
Technical: col/scope
Director: Francis Girod
Cast: Claude Brasseur, Sophie Marceau, Betsy Blair, Hippolyte Girardot
Synopsis:
An author and his too young wife experience marital difficulties while on holiday in Haïti, until, that is, he kills a man.
Review:
She too once committed GBH in self-defence, you see, and getting even is enough to conquer their sexual problems and his alcoholism and writer's block. Hackneyed in the extreme, this would-be Coup de torchon slice of post-colonialism exists principally to give the opportunity for the comely Miss Marceau to slip the straps off her shoulders and reveal her evenly tanned torso. Glum, pretentious psycho-drama in which Brasseur wanders drunkenly around Haitian streets like a cross between Meursault and Geoffrey Firmin to the accompaniment of sleazy saxophone music.
