The Unburdening

The Unburdening is a 1983 black-and-white drama film directed by Marcel Schuepbach. A woman living a dull life at her grandmother's country home is gradually pushed toward madness by a longing for passion, while the grandmother sees echoes of her own daughter, who lost her mind and died on her lover's grave. Anne Caudry's nude scene as Rose-Hélène is the best known part of the film. The story is told in a surreal, exaggerated style.
