O KADIN

When Michèle, the CEO of a gaming software company, is attacked in her home by an unknown assailant, she refuses to let it alter her precisely ordered life. She manages crises involving family, all the while becoming engaged in a game of cat and mouse with her stalker.

Perhaps the most daring provocation from director Paul Verhoeven, this tricky, thorny thriller successfully prevails in an audacious performance from the fearless Isabelle Huppert. A satire of contemporary France, and a study of the complex, often opaque, and always agentive character at its centre.
