Elles (English Subtitled)

Beautifully done movie about middle-age reality of well to do middle class. Told with brutal honesty. Extremely three dimensional and well developed. Shapo ba!

It wandered too much. I could not.get a good sense of who these characters were or their motivation.

I enjoyed this movie and have watched 2-3 times in the past 3 months or so. Suggest you consult bluRay.com for a professional review of its contents, technical visual and sound quality. In short, not for someone looking solely for sexual thrills but rather for one who seeks a serious plot with a few very sexually charged scenes ..all in context of the plot.

The movie was ok, but I thought it would be much better, the acting was ok also maybe some people would really love this movie. If the movie push the evenlope just a little bit more it would have been a much better movie. The movie I thought it would be like was Q, and Now and Later. great movie.

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.

I truly remarkable film.

When you think about prostitution, what usually comes to mind are the ladies in the street or the so-called bordellos (for rich and poor). But, in the changing world, prostitution keeps evolving due to many reasons, one being our current economies. Not everybody is competitive, and, sadly, some go into this profession as an act of desperation, curiosity, or other reasons. Elles is a fascinating and gripping film that explores these issues in a dramatic and intriguing way. Anne (Juliette Binoche) is apparently a happily-married journalist, who is writing an article about Paris students for Elle magazine. She struggles doing chores at home, including raising a teenage son and a smaller daughter, and doing research for her book. This research involves spending time and interviewing two young college students (Joanna Kulig and Anaïs Demoustier), who, for different reasons, moonlight as prostitutes. The descriptions of their sexual duties are very graphic, and it involves several types of men - mostly married --, who have the most bizarre requests. This assignment slowly affects Annes psyche and personal life, forcing her to make some serious decisions. Directed by Malgoska Szumowska, Elles is another movie that shows us aspects of our daily life that people are not aware of or simply ignore. Student prostitution is a sign of the times, not only in France, but in other places, including the USA. The film, as I say, is kind of graphic in the frank depiction of sex and sexual preferences, including a good dose of nudity. The Blu-ray includes edited and unedited trailers and more.

There is nothing really memorable about this movie, and the storyline is weak. Juliette Binoches acting was the most positive part of the movie.
