A successful and fiercely independent woman gets raped in her home and tries to find her attacker, expertly depicted by a coldly poised Isabelle Huppert i cannot see anyone else doing this role justice. This is a more mature and measured Paul Verhoeven film than any i have seen before. The attack itself is brutal and overly replayed but the resulting story is intriguing and fascinating. Elle's reaction to the assault is perhaps controversial and not standard, this delves deeper and is thought provoking on many levels.
Like this Watch These: Nocturnal Animals (2016) The reaction of a Husband to his Wife and Daughters attack, Funny Games (1997) (Subs) Sadistic teens terrorise a family on holiday watch with caution, The Piano Teacher (2001) (Subs) Huppert plays a masochistic teacher, not for everyone.
