I wish I could give this movie an 8.5! It's much better than average and I really had a hard time choosing between a score of 8 and 9! The movie starts with a schmuck going to court because his wife of only a few months is divorcing him. He adores her but he feels intimidated by her and unable to consummate their marriage. It seems that based on the plot this is probably because the wife is a very sexy but very cold and calculating bitch. I could easily understand a man feeling too intimidated by her to maintain an erection.
Her nastiness comes out just after the divorce is granted when she does everything she can to destroy him--even though he is a basically decent guy. You really feel for him as he's left with no money, no passport and she set him up to be accused of arson just because she could! Despite all this, he loves her dearly and I found myself feeling a little frustrated with him, as I wanted him to get mad or even or something! And, I was delighted to see just how delicious his ultimate revenge would be!! By the film's end, I was relieved to see him act, though the final scene is up to several possible interpretations and you really aren't sure if he intends to save her or keep her hanging at the end. Good job.
