This French sex farce is translated in English as The Trout. Joseph Losey directed and co-wrote the film, which stars Isabelle Huppert as Frederique, a young woman living on her family's rural trout farm. Frederique is trapped in a dull marriage to a rube. She decides to leave him and the trout farm for the city; she wants to make her living in the financial sector. She ends up in a cutthroat corporate world and meets up with the sophisticated Lou (the legendary Jeanne Moreau). Frederique finds herself trading sexual favors for corporate advancement and becoming more deeply involved in a complicated series of business dealings. Eventually, she longs for a return to her simpler life on the trout farm. ~ Michael Betzold, All Movie Guide

My guess is that whoever wrote the description of this film for the DVD sleeve did not actually view the film. La Truite is not a "thoughtful, romantic comedy". It is a poorly edited, cynical and nilhistic tragedy. The plots of some films appear as though they were made up as the film was being made.
This is one of them. A real stinker. |
