US title: Peril; UK title: Death in a French Garden
A young man is hired to give guitar lessons to the teenage daughter of a rich couple. The girl's mother begins an affair with him; he befriends a mysterious woman who lives next door to them. He also befriends a professional killer.
Postmodernist noir with stylized dialogue and mise-en-scène, and a great emphasis on eroticism. The end result is, well, stylish, but not much more than that.
