Abel Ferrara's made a new movie, loosely based around a scandal involving a prominent french politician and an unsuspecting housekeeper. The opening contains some wild and pretty graphic sex scenes. Gérard Depardieu really gets into this dark character and it's not exactly pleasant to watch. The latter half becomes more of a character study as he's placed under house arrest. It's a little slow and a little long but there's some great naturalistic performances. I can only presume some of the peripheral cast were the genuine article working unscripted because it has that kind of realism.
A good and unsettling character study.
