Michèle (Isabelle Huppert) seems indestructible, bringing the same ruthless attitude to her love life as to her video game business. But after being attacked by an unknown assailant, her determination to hunt him down draws them both into a game of cat and mouse that may, at any moment, spiral out of control. Subverting conventions of the rape-revenge subgenre, Paul Verhoeven's (Basic Instinct) extremely dark comedy is “electrifying and provocative...a dangerous delight” (The Guardian). D: Paul Verhoeven, France, subtitled, 2016, 130m
