Elles

very lame

Personal collection

Yes

Almost interesting but the internal conflict with the main protagonist (played by Juliette Binoche) is poorly developed.

I did not like it

No point to this movie

This movie presents the lives of some students that struggle to have the life they want in the middle of a wealthy society. They are presented with the options of a hard life doing waitressing or boring jobs getting a pay that does not allow them to build their life, or to render their services to men that are willing to reward them in more ways than money can do. This is a hard thing to present in front of our hard coded values. It is the difference between being exposed to landlords that want to abuse them for no pay, to live in unsafe neighbourhoods or to explore other avenues. All of this for a woman (Juliette Binoche) that feels neglected by her husband, overwhelmed by her housewife duties and at the same time producing an article for a magazine the famous Elle magazine about students that become call girls. Confronting this reality and her own boredom, frustration and sadness makes her reevaluate her life and her options. The end shows something that maybe is not what we want but many times it becomes what it is. The movie is very well acted and directed and addresses these very difficult topics in a caring way. I may disturb some people as some views may show a reality that some may not want to see.

Julliete is always brilliant but this is a very interesting movie with superb acting that Id recommend to anyone but the most extreme prude

Kind of has a basic there and back again plot. No character arcs. An arrogant exploration of banality. Might have been funny with an REM soundtrack, everybody hurts.... sometimes.... Instead they ripped off classical music.

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.
