Hmm...I'm not sure what to make of this.

I mean, not much really happened. Teacher/student forbidden romance and an overwhelming family issue but other than that...it wasn't even an in-your-face seduction fest but a slow simmer, I-really-want-you-but-can't-have-you type of thing.

That ending hasn't really even inspired me to want to read the next one, not like [b:The Arrangement: The Ferro Family|17181905|The Arrangement The Ferro Family (The Arrangement, #1)|H.M. Ward|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1356483152s/17181905.jpg|23628709] has, anyway, though I would be interested to see how these two end up.

"I’m choosing Breillat’s film because it pulls me in and disturbs me. I’ll never forget that long push-and-pull seduction scene in the bedroom, which Breillat re-created in 2002’s Sex Is Comedy, or the sense of mounting menace that finally explodes. I don’t know how she does it, but she coaxes her actors into very private, intimate places. I imagine the process is born of deep trust, but it’s tough. As a director, it’s difficult to push people that far. Take this as a stand-in for many other films directed by women that, for whatever reason, aren’t in this collection: Claire Denis’s Beau travail being the obvious one that comes to mind, though there are many others."
