- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for anyone who loves a strong drama. One to watch when you can give it your full attention.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 5 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
38 years after the events in the Luis Buñuel classic Belle de Jour, Henri Husson thinks he sees Séverine one night at a concert. He follows her and makes her face her past and then takes a slow revenge on her.
