Review of Elle

Elle (I) (2016)
6/10
mixed bag
30 October 2016
Seen at the Viennale 2016: As usual, a perfect performance by the great actress Huppert. She might be the main reason for people flocking to this (rather unnecessary) movie anyway. I guess, also Verhoeven and Birke could trust upon Huppert, that somehow she will rescue the overloaded plot. And yes, she did. Good enough, that it is entertaining enough to watch her. Apart from Huppert's acting I liked how sexual lust was shown. There was a kind of truthfulness in it that is missing in 99% of all other love movies. Sexual interest needs common sexual fantasies. A fact that is neglected by pure romantic love movies too often.
