A vulgar reinterpretation of Henri-George Clouzot's 1955 genre masterpiece. Chazz Palminteri is the loutish, liver-lipped lothario who brutalizes his meek wife and brassy mistress. Isabelle Adjani is the poor little churchmouse, a former nun who hates his sexual bullying but can't tear herself away because it hurts so good.

It was set in a castle or something, and the scene I remember most vividly is the one in which the wife runs into the bathroom and locks the door.
