Elles

This movie presents the lives of some students that struggle to have the life they want in the middle of a wealthy society. They are presented with the options of a hard life doing waitressing or boring jobs getting a pay that does not allow them to build their life, or to render their services to men that are willing to reward them in more ways than money can do. This is a hard thing to present in front of our hard coded values. It is the difference between being exposed to landlords that want to abuse them for no pay, to live in unsafe neighbourhoods or to explore other avenues. All of this for a woman (Juliette Binoche) that feels neglected by her husband, overwhelmed by her housewife duties and at the same time producing an article for a magazine the famous Elle magazine about students that become call girls. Confronting this reality and her own boredom, frustration and sadness makes her reevaluate her life and her options. The end shows something that maybe is not what we want but many times it becomes what it is. The movie is very well acted and directed and addresses these very difficult topics in a caring way. I may disturb some people as some views may show a reality that some may not want to see.

Quite compelling story with another breattaking interpretation by Juliette Binochet!

very lame

Great video, i love Bionche. This movie was in a foreign format so i couldnt watch it. I wrote the seller and got no response.

If you enjoy this type of movie, rent it!

Kind of has a basic there and back again plot. No character arcs. An arrogant exploration of banality. Might have been funny with an REM soundtrack, everybody hurts.... sometimes.... Instead they ripped off classical music.

Bad..Exploitation by Juliette Binoche and co..! Bad//Exploitation by Juliette Binoche and Co. Maybe makes Money... Same old stuff....not interesting..no plot ...no character development.. Nothing more to say..

Banal story.Can anyone tell me what this film is about? Unfortunately, Binoche is gone...as an actress I mean... But she is still one of my favorites. Will be patiently awaiting for the new role of the great actress on the big screen.

Somehow french films usually do not have a happy ending no matter what. They are more inclined to be about a reality in their society and life in general. They usually expose the more sordid and sad aspects of their society . Great acting and good subject to expose. Juliette Binoche as usual is a great actress.

Lame
