Ultra obscure horror-fantastique from Belgium

This is a weird flick for so many reasons. It's filmed in France but made by Belgian director Jean-Daniel Verhaeghe. It was his first film and it was based on the book with the same title. The story is rare and the film is ultra obscure. Even Belgium's film archive doesn't has a copy.

It's a horror-fantastique that is paced slowly with long shots and pans and with a few creepy lighting moments. Reminded me sometimes of Dracula (1931) when Dracula appears on the stairs. '

Bernard (Marc Eyraud) who is in love with a water spider (the translation of the title), wants to replace his wife Catherine (Marie-Ange Dutheil) with the spider because his wife bores him.

The spider transforms first into a tarantula and then into a mysterious mute girl, Nadie (Elisabeth Wiener). He falls in love with the girl/spider and finally has to choose between them.

The performances are great and all of the actors moved up in the French film scene. It was Marie-Ange's first film. She even has a small nude scene.
