“The more erotic it gets... the more beautiful it feels.”
Drama
In wartime France, Pharmacist Eliane begins a torrid affair with her shop assistant Armand, but she soon becomes dominated by him. He demands more and more from her, humiliating her and putting her family at risk.
VIBE
An intense, unsettling slow-burn, this film plunges into the dark currents of desire and control. It's a transgressive psychological drama exploring the degradation within a torrid affair, feeling like a raw, European arthouse experience. Best suited for a late-night solo watch.
