Overview

Paris Trout is a vile Southern bigot. He owns a store and is a loanshark. He often sues people, and so his lawyer, Harry Seagraves, eventually meets Paris' wife Hannah. A former schoolteacher, she made the mistake of her life when she married Paris, who brutalizes her. Soon Paris goes beyond the overgenerous bounds of what a man in his position can get away with even in the segregated South, leading to a spiral of perverse insanity.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A claustrophobic descent into the depravity of a Southern bigot and his trapped wife, watching a man's unchecked power and racism spiral into murderous madness. The film is an unflinching portrait of brutality and complicity in a rigged system.
