The Trout (fr|La Truite) is a 1982 French drama film directed by Joseph Losey based on the novel by Roger Vailland[2] and starring Isabelle Huppert.[3] This was the last film that Losey directed to be released in his lifetime, as he died two years after its release.

She marries Galuchat, a homosexual, and lives for a while in Japan with Saint-Genis, a businessman whom she met at the same time as a rich couple, the Ramberts.
The Trout was originally planned to be released in the 1960s, starring Brigitte Bardot as "Frédérique".[4]
