The Infernal Trio

Quite a rare one and based on a true story too which caught my attention, but I found THE INFERNAL TRIO hard to sit through. It's about some bourgeois characters in Marseilles, a man and two women, who through a series of unfortunate events end up committing murder. Bizarre stuff indeed, but this is a French farce picking apart class conventions and as such it left me completely cold. I do enjoy the subject matter - Emile Zola is perhaps my favourite author - but I didn't like any of the characters here, and often this felt rudderless, throwing in a bit of this and a bit of that to get along. There's a notably grisly sequence, but that's the only memorable bit in this.
