In Justine Triet’s Sibyl—starring Gaspard Ulliel, Virginie Efira and Sandra Hüller—chaos equates to delight and the ethically wrong is exhilarating. Psychoanalysis and cinema come together in a thrillingly erotic and perilous game blurring fiction and reality, dizzyingly escaping any classification.

From showgirls to nuns: the latest sensation from the king of erotic thrillers immerses us in the religious visions and illicit desires of a 17th-century mystic abbess. Sensual, elegant and scandalous, Benedetta offers up a perversely provocative critique of religious hypocrisy.

In this taut psychological thriller, which seduces with its Hitchcockian intrigue and Chabrolian class critique, Virginie Efira enthralls with her perilous balancing act between multiple identities. Mysterious yet gripping, this portrait of a woman under the influence scales the limits of desire.
