1926: In the French region of Landes, near Bordeaux, marriages are arranged to merge property and unite neighbouring families. Thus, young Therese Larroque becomes Madame Desqueyroux. However, her avant-garde ideas soon clash with local conventions and her domineering husband, and in order to break free from the fate imposed upon her she will resort to tragically extreme measures.

While watching this movie, I agreed with the reviewer Enšpígl in many ways. Not only does the story of Thérèse Desqueyroux stretch like a hairy dumpling in the mouth, it is also really boring. But even so, the film has certain qualities. For example, the camera shots of the French countryside were flawless. Audrey Tautou was nice, too, although her character would benefit from being a bit livelier. Well, the fact is that the creators of this film turned it into a chick flick. For this reason, the film reminded me a little of the equally strange French movie The Well-Digger’s Daughter.
