Maniac 1963 Filmed in the French countryside, we meet an American tired of his girlfriend and decides to shack up with a mother and daughter who run a small cafe. The Maniac of the title, married to the horse-riding mother/cafe owner, is locked away in a nearby asylum for the crime of taking a blow torch to the rapist who assaulted the daughter years before. The film rolls along very gingerly, adding layer upon layer of character development,which, just bored me, but I stuck with it to the end and am glad I did because the final act really pays off. 11/18/11
