Joseph Losey directed and co-wrote the film, which stars Isabelle Huppert as Frederique, a young woman living on her family's rural trout farm. Frederique is trapped in a dull marriage to a rube. She decides to leave him and the trout farm for the city; she wants to make her living in the financial sector. She ends up in a cutthroat corporate world and meets up with the sophisticated Lou (the legendary Jeanne Moreau). Frederique finds herself trading sexual favors for corporate advancement and becoming more deeply involved in a complicated series of business dealings. Eventually, she longs for a return to her simpler life on the trout farm. ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
A bleak romantic comedy that chronicles the life of cold fish Isabelle Huppert.
-
Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com
vapid to the point where it's hard to really care
-
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
The Trout is another example of director Jospeh Losey's fascination with the ambiguities of sexuality.
