Review of L'enfer

L'enfer (2005)
Essentially a "Lifetime Channel" soap with message that men are dogs
2 April 2021
Really, I am a fan of French cinema in general. This film though seems a copy of the worst in B-grade American films set in France. The cinematography and acting are good. But really in the end L'enfer is a trope and cliché filled melodrama. It seems made not from the French point of view, but that of someone who does not know France visiting the country.

The "surprise" ending is telegraphed a million miles away. Lesson: all men, at least all straight men, are dogs. You've seen this theme a thousand times, and in virtually every case done better.

3/10 stars.
