Elle

Movie Review

The main character Michèle, the owner of a successful business, is divorced from her husband and has a son who has his own life as an adult. One day a man in black bursts into her house, beats her and rapes her. The story awakens psychological traumas from her childhood. She wants to find the man, but not so that she can hand him over to the police. And he was right, Huppert – one of the nominees for the “Golden Globe”.
