Deep Water - 1981 - 6/10
AKA - Eaux Profondus
Classic French arthouse mystery thriller.
Young trophy bride (Isabelle Huppert) flirts and attracts numerous young swains.
Husband (a menacing Jean-Louis Trintignant) warns each of possible consequences.
Those who heed, flee. Those who abide, however ...
Challenging in that the viewer never knows the relationship between husband and wife, or how much friends and neighbors (island of Jersey) turn a blind eye to.
Measured pace that delivers unexpected jolts.
Based on Patricia Highsmith novel.
