La décade prodigieuse

"They Broke Every Commandment in the Book!"

Dec 1 1971 PG 1h 50m
Drama, Mystery

Charles Van Horn, son of rich and powerful Théo Van Horn, calls upon his former teacher Paul Régis to help him solve the mystery of his recurring bouts of amnesia.

Plot

Anthony Perkins, a young sculptor with a weird penchant for waking up in strange hotels with his memory wiped clean and bloodied hands, invites a former professor (Michel Piccoli) to the Gatsby-like provincial manor presided over by his powerful tycoon father (Orson Welles). Welcomed by Welles' young wife (Marlene Jobert), Piccoli soon finds a nest of rats beneath the bourgeoisie voluptuousness -- a clan bound in a circle of illicit romance, blackmail, faked burglaries and, of course, murder.
