One of cinema's greatest perverts makes his manifesto on guilt and taboo desire.

Mallory AndrewsNov 18, 2016Women forced to search for their own avenues of power and pleasure in a world dominated by masculine aggression and desire, step one: manipulating that aggression/violence so that it's on a collision course with itself, rather than another victim...

“Shame isn't a strong enough emotion to stop us from doing anything at all”. There’s a lot of perceptive writing on this already so no need to praise Huppert and Verhoeven more, but two quick observations: a) this makes for a great double bill with Breillat’s Abuse of…
Filipe FurtadoJan 9, 201779 As soon as the first shot hit, I was in. All in. Verhoeven reshapes sexual desire and shame within the European mindset, stumbling into an unstable cinematic rhythm which leads down troublesome territory, never forgetting that sly, wicked curiosity and the prominence…

For all its cleverness, Elle suffers, like many a thriller, from an unmasking that proves less intriguing than the original mystery and, in its misogyny and its misanthropy, the film ultimately proves less interesting than it believes itself to be. Mainly, it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth long after the credits roll. Like Michèle herself, Elle is a nasty piece of work.

There is much to like about Elle, first and foremost a witty and bold performance from Huppert and the generally seasoned ensemble.

Elle would be unimaginable without Huppert, who delivers a performance of such virtuosity that she turns what is essentially a raving sociopath into one of the most alluring protagonists in recent memory.
