Up to and during the scene husband-confronts-wife's-lover the movie follows closely Chabrol's "La femme infidèle" As imitation goes, not a very good one; to begin with, the actors do not match the charisma and personality of their French counterparts.
The problem begins with the killing of the lover by the husband (old flabby husband overpowers young, fit lover with bare hands, lover doesn't see it coming, audience does). This is followed by the the disposal of the body, which strains credibility to the limit. In fact, credibility doesn't seem to be an objective of the script. There is a bit of black comedy in charge of the husband's mother, which is perhaps the only redeeming feature of the film.
The husband is an astrophysicist and lectures on cosmic collisions: when a star comes too close to another a thermonuclear reaction ensues. Yes, we get the point.
