“Elle” (***1/2 out of four) was a fascinating psychodrama set in France about a successful businesswoman (Isabelle Huppert) who is viciously attacked and raped in her home which causes her to re-evaluate all the men in her life as she plays cat-and-mouse and tries to discover the actual attacker but adamantly refuses to report the incident to police or change her lifestyle. A lurid and sometimes disturbing look at the traumatic post-effects of being violated and sexually assaulted but it’s very well-told by director Paul Verhoeven and Huppert is absolutely sensational in the lead role in an Oscar-nominated performance. Not always easy to watch but very difficult to forget.
