Honore's provocative film is based on the novel by Georges Bataille, whose sensational reputation as an exponent of the 'literature of transgression' belies the deeper exploration of human motivations his works illuminate.
Huppert and rising French star Louis Garrel (
The Dreamers,
Les Amants Reguliers,
Dans Paris) are cast as mother and son. On holiday in the Canary Islands - and with the family patriarch neatly despatched in the film's opening scenes - the stage is set for Pierre to be initiated into some fairly unconventional mores.
"Huppert is absolutely compelling"
