Revenge, cleverly achieved by a woman, is the theme of the twisty, sometimes disturbing, and often darkly humorous French thriller Elle. Audiences expecting art house fare may be surprised to find director Paul Verhoeven’s film so entertaining, particularly since it is about a woman avenging a rape. But many things are surprising about Elle – its complexity, its family drama, its compassion, and most of all, its complicated heroine Michele LeBlanc, played by Isabelle Huppert in an Oscar-worthy performance.
Elle opens with a shocking scene, of a rape, but what happens afterwards is shocking too. The scene is presented in a detached manner but we are surprised by the woman’s reaction after her assailant departs. She scolds her cat, who is the sole witness to the attack, for not protecting her,...

Here we go again.
Eight years ago, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, following a number of egregious snubs by its foreign language screening committee, changed the way in which it whittles down dozens of film submissions from around the world to determine the nominees for its foreign language film Oscar. A volunteer committee, which tended to be comprised of older members (since few members still active in their careers have the time to screen the number of movies that are submitted each year), had made conservative selections at the expense of edgy films that had received widespread acclaim from others, resulting in significant criticism. So the organization implemented a process that was supposed to provide a fail-safe option: the screening committee would choose six films for the shortlist, and an...

One potential surprise in the current best actress race would be the first-ever nomination and/or win of Isabelle Huppert. The leading lady has turned in yet another stellar performance — this time for Elle, France’s submission for best foreign language film this year — and there are is speculation that the Academy might finally give Huppert the recognition she so deserves.
The Paul Verhoeven-directed Elle — which should make the shortlist for best foreign language film, according to The Hollywood Reporter’s Scott Feinberg — derives from the French word for “she” or “her” and is based on the novel Oh… by Philippe Djian. In the film, Huppert plays Michèle LeBlanc, a successful businesswoman, who is raped and begins a game of cat and mouse to track down the unknown assailant. Elle was nominated...

Roman Polanski .... "unique artist who has managed to translate turning points in his own life so creatively." Photo: Guy Ferrandis
Now 80, Roman Polanski looks more like a man in his early sixties. His youthful demeanour may be partly explained by his becoming a father at 60. The mother of his 21-year-old daughter Morgane and 16-year-old son Elvis is actress Emannuelle Seigner, 48, whom he cast first in Tess, his 1979 version of Thomas Hardy's Tess Of The d'Urbervilles, and later in Bitter Moon, Frantic and most recently Venus In Fur.
The couple will be in attendance at the Locarno Film Festival, which starts next week and where Polanksi is guest of honour. He will give a talk on life and work at an event open to the public.
Polanski ‘s trademark has been an ability to master such a range of different styles, while always retaining a coherent vision of cinema, and he...
