    I killed my neighbor’s husband, and the neighbor came to thank her in the end; when I was a girlfriend, he broke my girlfriend again; he took his son and ex-husband in his hands and said that he was going to visit prison and scared his father to commit suicide overnight, not to mention to his subordinates, man. It was like an ant in his hand. Such a terrifying female character exists in the patriarchal society like a Virgin. Standing on the opposite side, looking at it with ridicule, this...

    Barely four points. At four o'clock in the second half of the night, I was laughing alive. This is a black comedy. Where does the horror come from? The feminist perspective is also nonsense. It would be hell to treat a femme fatale in a film noir as a comedy and call it feminism. Huppert's acting skills are still unique, with childlike playfulness and cat-like restlessness combined with seemingly careless concentration, very charming. Tossing and turning among a group of stupid male characters,...

    Forget about the chaos in your private life, you actually cheat on your friend's husband, hello, if this is your friend in real life, you really don't despise this kind of person? Independent women...

    Ridiculous stories, twisted lives. The heroine lived in the shadow of a murderer's father when she was a child. Her ex-husband found a beautiful young girlfriend, her mother found a little white face, her daughter-in-law broke her shoes and her son liked being a father. What's worse, she was sexually assaulted. Relationships are absurd, but she miraculously survives and fights back against life...

    The violence Michelle suffered was not isolated, but part of the misogyny that pervaded Michelle's life, but her own place in it was not 'innocence', but precisely such an ambiguous, morally Suspension, seems to be the theme of the film. Elle relies on Pell's puritanical presence, and her ascetic approach to Michèle's portrayal is largely what makes the film work. She is like a ship through thick fog, confident, aloof, with an icy passion combined with a sense of danger and destruction,...

    The hand shaking at the beginning was too uncomfortable, but it was hard to notice even the hand shaking at the back. mise en scène is too draggy, and there are only a few scenes without...

    1. The rape victims and the incident itself are constantly teasing and dismantling; 2. The setting of the video game company makes the whole story full of vigor and strangeness of the times; 3. Huppert's perfect interpretation, Verhoeven uses European touch to activate American crime genre films...

    The name is absolutely straightforward, it's the story about her, a woman, and it's definitely a women's movie, but feminism? Make fun of me, where is feminism~~~ I think this michelle played by Yu Beier has absolutely nothing to do with the so-called women's rights. She is purely enjoying the desire to control, sexual desire, and freedom to be a little selfish. It's just that this happened to a woman. I appreciate the strength of the heroine, independent, a little...

    The return of the master, the wonderful screenwriter, the victory of women! A good director + script + actors can really make a movie become a fairy. Verhoeven specially learned French to guide the crew, and the film's suspense, pornography and structure are all labeled with Verhoeven. The original French author is the screenwriter, and the French language humor and dining table tearing are the icing on the cake. And Yu Peier's performance is really perverted, complex personality, specializing...

  • Robert: What did you do?

    Michèle Leblanc: I stopped lying.

  • Michèle Leblanc: It's twisted.

    Patrick: Sorry?

    Michèle Leblanc: Twisted. Between us., it's sick. Diseased. I was in some kind of weird denial but I see clearly now.

    Patrick: What do you see?

    Michèle Leblanc: You don't expect to get away with what you did to me? Huh? I'll do what I should've done at once.

    Patrick: What do you mean?

    Michèle Leblanc: It's not just about me. There's your wife, too. And others, perhaps. Who knows.

    Patrick: What do you mean?

    Michèle Leblanc: How many others? That you've done the same thing to? I'll go to the police. I'll tell them everything.
