Symphonie pour un massacre est un film franco-italien réalisé par Jacques Deray, sorti en 1963.

Synopsis

Cinq gangsters organisent l'achat d'un gros lot de drogues. Moreau, l'un d'entre eux, alors qu'il se rendait en train à Marseille pour compléter le marché, a été volé et tué par l'un des quatre autres, Christian Jabeke, qui a étudié un plan audacieux et construit un alibi presque inattaquable grâce à sa voiture de sport rapide, avec laquelle il réussit à faire un voyage "retour" Paris / Bruxelles en un temps record. Jabeke, habile comme quelques-uns, en plus de vouloir tout l'argent, a une histoire d'amour avec la belle femme de Valoti. Trop sûr de lui-même, Jabeke se trahit lors d'un entretien avec Paoli et est contraint de le tuer, un fait qui précipitera les événements.

Jean-Paul, a writer and Marianne, his girlfriend of just over two years, are holidaying at a friend's villa. There is a tension in their relationship which excites Marianne: the film begins with a scene in which they are together beside the villa's swimming pool and she urges him to claw her back. He does as she asks, but then throws her into the pool and jumps in after her. In a later scene he takes a branch and uses it to lash her bare buttocks, playfully but with a force that increases as the scene cuts away.
