Our take
A romantic thriller revolving around sex, violence, and lost identity, this madcap tale is nevertheless a Hal Hartley film at heart, full of deadpan dialogue, eccentric behaviors, and absurdist twists. The glacial Isabelle Huppert delivers an iconic turn as a blasé ex-nun who dabbles in pornography!
