La vie est un long fleuve tranquille (Life Is a Long Quiet River, 1988)

"My poor Louis. So you'll never be able to replace her? Your sorrow was hard to bear at the cemetery. Today is a red-letter day. Not only have you lost your dear wife, but also your career, your reputation and your life. I'm going to crush you like a piece of shit."
