Description

An atmospheric and mysterious tale of love and death set in a crumbling Breton castle. A rich, dissolute young man invites his best friend to stay at the château, and when the friend arrives he brings with him a radiant, seductive, and strangely detached young woman who will bring death and destruction to Château d'Argol. With opulent, atmospheric descriptions of a savage, surreal Breton landscape and a mounting sense of foreboding, Château d'Argol is a work of beauty and terror.
