Elles – 4.5

Un film francais “typique,” with sex and talk and sex and talk and then un peu de fantasie au fin. Was it extolling the liberating properties of prostitution or condemning the men who engage in it, as well as the men who don’t? Well, there didn’t seem to be a point. The one thing that was clear was that Juliette Binoche’s character wasn’t much of a journalist. She was, however, beautiful as always, although the director tried for “realism” by showing her unmade-up, uncombed, sweating through Pilates. Oh, and one other French thing: a la Marienbad, there was no clear indication of what was taking place when – other than it couldn’t have been on the “day” in question.
