Claire Denis, the director of such films as Chocolat and
Beau Travail, making a horror film is certainly something to watch. It’s the story of an American in Paris, with
his wife, setting out to find a scientist he admires. Meanwhile the scientist’s wife has gone crazy
and is locked away in a room to keep her from hurting anyone. This is a weird film about obsession, love
and vorarephilia (that’s right you read that correctly, look it up if you don’t
know what it means, or better yet watch the film). There are some really disturbing moments that
I will never forget seeing. Vincent
Gallo is solid. I don’t know if
Denis would want to make another horror film but I hope she does. And may it be as horrific and well-made as
this one. B+
