Rewatched L’enfer tonight for the umpteenth time. Fantastic editing. It is a great horror film.

The little homage to Buñuel’s “El” - Paul’s wobbly walk as his insanity goes full on - is a wonderful touch I’d never noticed before.

Yes. You guys should watch the doc about the unfinished original.

Have seen it. It’s great but I really love Chabrol’s approach to that material. He supposedly truly disliked what he’d seen of Clouzot’s preproduction experiments.

Right. The Clouzot stuff is best seen at one step removed, through the doc.

L'Enfer is horrifying. the English title, TORMENT, isn't nearly as good as its literal translation, Hell
