“Alain Jessua was almost an accursed director,whose best works were largely ignored ,with the eventual exception of u0026quot;Traitement de Chocu0026quot; (1972 ) more because Alain Delon and Annie Girardot appeared completely naked ,than for its merits which were real .All that he made till his grotesque u0026quot;Frankestein 90u0026quot; is worth a look ,if you want to go off the beaten track of the French cinema.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAfter the failure of u0026quot;Frankenstein 90u0026quot; which won awards abroad but got unanimous thumbs down in its native country ,Jessua relinquished the fantasy and horror genre;u0026quot;En Toute Innocenceu0026quot; is no longer a Jessua Movie;itu0026#39;s Jessua trying to imitate Claude Chabrol,complete with gastronomy :Cook Clemence (Suzanne Flon) makes tasty little dishes for her boss (Michele Serrault).But this wealthy architect is cross cause his daughter-in-law (Nathalie Baye) has a lover.After a car accident,his legs are paralyzed .His hate knows no bounds now.He plans his revenge on the unfaithful wife.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eVery derivative.Stick to Jessuau0026#39;s heyday:1972-1981,his golden decade.”
