Pialat paired nascent icons Isabelle Huppert and Gérard Depardieu less than a decade into their respective screen careers, bringing his expertly calibrated attention to socioeconomic and familial concerns in contemporary Paris. Nelly (Huppert) leaves behind her comfortable if constrained middle-class life with husband André (Guy Marchand) to walk on the wild side with bad boy Loulou (Depardieu), with scorchingly erotic results. In French with English subtitles.
