I am not a great film of torture films. This is one of them. It involves incarceration, burial alive and other forms of an extreme violent nature. I cannot believe that Isabelle Huppert got involved and it makes ' The Piano Teacher ' perhaps one of her greatest films look like fun, despite the violence that that film had. A woman of a certain age leaves bags on metro seats for kind young women to pick up and return to the address of the woman inside. Huppert plays the woman, who turns out to be Hungarian instead of the French woman people think she is. Huppert plays the one good scene in the film in a restaurant where she hisses out Hungarian words and ' Nosferatu ' came to mind in a camp way. So far so bearable but what eventually follows is psychologically very, very disturbing. No spoilers but it is a film in my opinion not worthy of Huppert or anyone in the cast, and should not be watched by anyone who has disturbances of the mind. Whole heartedly not recommended.
