Our take
This award-winning, sexually provocative drama from Laurent Cantet explores the controversial world of sex tourism in 1970s Haiti. Made just a few years before the French director took home the Palme d’Or for The Class, it boasts an extraordinary and defiant performance from Charlotte Rampling.
