Torment (French title: L'Enfer, meaning "Hell") is a 1994 French drama film directed by Claude Chabrol. It stars François Cluzet and Emmanuelle Béart.Paul Prieur (Cluzet) runs a lakeside resort. He is married to Nelly (Béart), with whom he has a son. Paul starts suspecting that Nelly may be having an affair, and despite having no concrete proof and Nelly's assurances that it's not the case, he obsesses over the possibility and grows increasingly delusional, paranoid and violent. Life for the married couple turns into a living hell as a result.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Coincidentally, there's another French film called L'Enfer made in 2005 that also stars Béart. The two films are unrelated.

Chekhov's Gun: Paul's razor. Early in the film, Paul is seen shaving with a straight razor. In the end, he uses it to cut Nelly's throat (whether this is real or not is ambiguous, because this scene might be a Fantasy Sequence).

Ax-Crazy: Paul becomes totally crazy and violent with Nelly by the end of the film. Whether he really murders Nelly or not is ambiguous.

Ambiguous Ending: Given Paul's delusional state, whether he murders Nelly or she's still sound asleep in bed at the end is very much up in the air.
