Would you like to refute what I said or not? Haven't met anyone one that likes being raped. And why would I watch the film after what you said? I usually agree with your film critiques. In this case I just disagreed with how you said it. Understand the difference?

Usually I don't read them, but I wanted to see whether my take was way off. Here's from the first review on imdb:"The film opens with a struggle that isn't seen. The noises that are being made, however, are unmistakable. When we catch a glimpse of the sight, we see Michele on the ground with her assailant dressed in black standing above her, he quickly leaves, Michele still lying on the ground stunned for a moment before getting up and doing everything a rape victim shouldn't do. First, she cleans up the crime scene and then gets into the bathtub with a glass of wine with an odd look that I couldn't discern the moment that I was viewing it, but as the movie went along, I figured it out.
Her look was that of pleasure.
Yes. This film goes there.
Michele doesn't tell her son when he asks about a bruise on her face. "Fell off my bike," she says as she continues about her evening as if nothing happened. It isn't until later, at dinner that she tells a group of people, including her ex-husband, that she 'supposes' she was raped.
Her odd behavior is given a backstory. Her father, Charles Leblanc, was a serial killer who killed a number of people in their town and it's even suggested that ten year old Michele may've participated in this horrific act.
As the film continues, a thread of dark comedy surfaces; Michele goes to the doctor to get an STD panel. "Are you concerned about a recent exposure? I can give you some PEP?"
"Nah. I'll just roll the dice."
She looks at a co-worker's outfit, similar to that of her assailant. She gives her co-worker that same look she had in the bathtub. "I like your outfit."
It's safe to say, this isn't a typical film about rape, and those who are sensitive to this topic probably should avoid it. It's slated to have an awards friendly November release date, most likely for Isabelle Huppert's fantastic performance, but I'm not sure how awards bodies are going to take to this. A French movie about rape from the point-of- view of a woman who enjoys it? How on earth does someone sell that?"
There are more scenes, all painting the same image, but I will avoid more spoilers.

We agree it's a dog.

We often try to guess the writer's gender - usually when the movie is below par. In most cases we guess correctly, but recently had a bad case of misplaced identity. :) She has that knack for identifying movies "made by men for men" - I think you can get my tilt. :)
I like that, a good game indeed. Have you seen Montenegro by Dusan Makavejev? Lots of fun there....an oldie but goodie.

Love that film. Intense sense of humor throughout the film.
The scene with Erland Josephson dancing to the ABBA tune is unforgettable.
And my other favorite is the men singing the song in Zanzi Bar where Susan Anspachs character asks what it is and the little stripper answers: It's nice. It's about you.
The knife in the forehead, the kids auditioning women for grandpa and on and on.

Several other good movies.
