Elles

Well done and I enjoyed the unpretentiousness of the characters and film. I always like the French Movies as they say it like it is.

Zero imagination. Sure I had read other opinions and lots of words without real meaning praise this mainstream propaganda. Yeah, for a start producer could not figure out how to show sex, I guess Tinto Brass or DAmato movies are not available in France. Camera and lights works were especially primitive and I was not happy with Jess Franco, boy, I was mistaken. Of course, nobody in this flick works, money no problem, sure, after all unemployment in France only steady 10%. Music--who needs music, propaganda is good without music. Resume--as Italian dictator said--the purpose of movement is to move. Avoid.

The movie was ok, but I thought it would be much better, the acting was ok also maybe some people would really love this movie. If the movie push the evenlope just a little bit more it would have been a much better movie. The movie I thought it would be like was Q, and Now and Later. great movie.

Juliette B is a gem of an actress. It is exciting to wtach her.

If you enjoy this type of movie, rent it!

A coming of age movie for french ladies of the night and day. Not really any unique twists of plot or academy award winning performances for the best organism. But, if you havent been to Paris in the spring, summer, fall, etc., this is worth watching if you dont have anything else to do.

OK fellow movie fans, let me be honest with you, this movie is awful. If you feel that watching a woman get urinated on is art then this is a great film. I never understood why make these films when they are soft porn with a plot. Stick to the real thing if that is what you are after.

It wandered too much. I could not.get a good sense of who these characters were or their motivation.

Whatever the implications and motivations are, Elles—the female form of they in French—doesnt spell them out, preferring to let us draw our own conclusions. The reductive suggestion that all women are whores and all men essentially johns certainly plays in here, but the film is more complicated than that, recognizing that sex itself is complicated, a once-simple evolutionary imperative thats now tangled up in the web of human consciousness. In its non-procreative form, its ideally a mutual expression of love, but the film portrays its darker side as a commodity to be bought and sold. A power to wield. A source of frustration and a vessel for misplaced desire. This might be nothing new, but Małgorzata Szumowskas provocative treatment of the topic makes Elles worthwhile, and something more than just a showpiece—which it also is—for Juliet Binoches significant acting abilities.
