Thérèse Raquin

1953 · 106 min

A slow, suffocating plunge into guilt and dread, where passion curdles into paranoia and every glance feels like an accusation.

Overview: Star-crossed lovers Thérèse and Laurent think they've gotten away with murder after Thérèse's weakling husband "falls" from a speeding train. But when forced to contend with a blackmailer's demands and the mute accusations of Thérèse's mother-in-law, it's only a matter of time before the law, their passion or blind chance trips them up.
