Red Lights

France

Pretty unpleasant but intriguing story adapted from a novel by Georges Simenon. A husband and wife take to the roads for their summer holiday; he is angry for reasons later made clear so he starts drinking...heavily. She leaves him at a bar to take a train...he keeps drinking and has increasingly nasty adventures. On the train she gets attacked.

Somehow, and improbably, they reconcile at the end but it was no fun getting there.

This guy sold a lot of books. If this is representative I'm glad I've never read one. Movie was well done but really...
