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... Way too much to unpack…

“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…

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.

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.
