sinner: the secret diary of a nymphomaniac (1973)

AKA Le journal intime d'une nymphomane.
"They say that love makes the world go round, and all is fair in love and war."
Linda Vargas (Montserrat Prous) picks up Ortiz (Manuel Pereiro) in the bar where she works, and after seducing him, kills herself. He is immediately arrested, and it looks bad, as he is covered in her blood and holding the knife she killed herself with. So it is up to his wife, Rosa (Jacqueline Laurent) to investigate the death, and she soon learns of Linda's tragic decent into sex and drugs following her sexual assault by Ortiz as a young girl.
An interesting concept turned into a lackluster tale of depravity.
