Paris Trout (1991) [Re-UP]

Cast Dennis Hopper, Barbara Hershey, Ed Harris, Ray McKinnon, Tina Lifford…

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.

Dans la Géorgie raciste de 1949, le procès d'un blanc fêlé, meurtrier d'une gamine noire. Dennis Hopper, en 'honorable' fasciste parano.
