Can't stop thinking about this one, that kind of film that sneaks up on you ever so carefully when you're watching it - then delivering a mighty wallop directly afterwards, when you least expect it. Sinks its grasp into you slowly, hypnotically, until eventually revealing and digging its claws in deep during that wild last thirty minutes. Uncompromisingly steamy - a sultry fusion of murder mystery, softcore porn, and perfume commercial aesthetics. In other words, pretty fucking awesome. The robust acting that Charlotte Rampling and Ludivine Sagnier give to these two fully-formed characterizations lay claim to every ounce of your attention - impossible to miss a single detail. Sort of wish we knew more about a couple of the characters but it may not have even been a necessity when writing *this* cautious leaves the viewer in a constant state of questioning, wondering just where the hell it's going to go every step of the way. At first I was let down by its infamously ambiguous ending, but no sooner afterwards did I love it. Sun-soaked, quiet depravity that contains its pressure for an eventual explosion.
