Elle (2016)

A successful businesswoman gets caught up in a game of cat and mouse as she tracks down the unknown man who raped her.

On the surface a simple rape-revenge story is ingeniously turned into a complex and at times riddling study a woman dealing with the adversities of her life;  and Isabelle Huppert delivers an impeccable performance.

Les herbes folles (2009)

 

 

A wallet lost and found opens the door to a romantic adventure.

 

Quirky, almost surreal romantic comedy, elegantly directed; likable, but so slight that it reamins unremarkable.

Maltin**: "Odd, teasing, dreamlike farce from 88-year-old Resnais is an exploration of chance and fate, and the strange, complex relationship that develops between these two characters...but it's curiously unsatisfying."
