Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Aimed squarely at book lovers and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 8 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off: It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

The film opens with a rubber-clad woman stepping sensuously out of a limousine. The camera lovingly closes-up on her stilletoed foot... She enters a dark desolate warehouse, and meets two men, who proceed to chain her up and worship her body. Originally projected on three screens simultaneously. Music by legendary noise musician Merzbow.
