Editorial Reviews

Michèle seems indestructible. Head of a leading video game company, she brings the same ruthless attitude to her love life as to business. Being attacked in her home by an unknown assailant changes Michèle's life forever. When she resolutely tracks the man down, they are both drawn into a curious and thrilling game - a game that may, at any moment, spiral out of control.

Allen Garfield's #1 fan.

Terrific psycho-sexual thriller from Paul Verhoeven.

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

Once upon a time, Paul Verhoeven was the hottest director in Hollywood, helming such box office hits as RoboCop and Basic Instinct. But a couple of disappointments (oddly, everyone I know loves Starship Troopers and Showgirls is regarded as a camp classic) is all it takes for studios to turn their back on you these days, so Verhoeven took his talent back overseas (he was born and raised in the Netherlands and didn't start directing American movies until the mid 80s - the underrated Flesh and Blood) where his style of sex, violence, and a good dose of humor seems to work best. This is the case with Elle, a movie that would be dead serious if it was made in Hollywood by anyone else. Thankfully, it's French and helmed by Verhoeven – making it one of the more uniquely entertaining movies you're likely to come across.

French actress and Academy Award nominee Isabelle Huppert ( indeed, one of the best and bravest actors currently working) stars as Michèle, who we see getting raped by a masked man (dressed all in black) in the movie's opening moments. While this horrible event would be the cause of two hours of angst for a character in an American movie, Michèle treats her rape rather clinically, although that doesn't mean she doesn't become focused on both finding ways to protect herself and well as hoping to unmask the perpetrator – who begins a game of taunting her after the events take place.

Michèle works for a videogame company whose specialty is creating violent and sexually exploitive games, so she immediately begins to suspect that one of her employees (maybe a current one, perhaps a former one) is the man who raped her. Others in Michèle's circle of friends and acquaintances are also suspicious. I will confess to pinpointing who the person was as soon as his character is introduced in the movie, although I don't know if it will be that obvious to everyone who watches the film. However, the identity of the person is just the first "surprise" in the movie, as Michèle's response is far from expected and may even turn some viewers (especially females, I suspect) off. I will say that knowing who it is (or having a pretty good idea) didn't take away any of my enjoyment, which is a good indication that the film holds up to multiple viewings and is much more than a "whodunnit."

The movie also has a great excuse why our lead character doesn't take her problems to the police; Michèle's father was responsible for some horrible crimes at which she was present (as a little girl). The crimes were horrendous enough that complete strangers will shout awful things at her, and one woman (early in the movie) actually throws a tray of food on her in a public restaurant. Michèle treats that moment so nonchalantly, that viewers will know it's happened to her many times before.

But for all the seriousness of the subject matter here, the real surprise of Elle (which, incidentally, isn't a nickname for the main character but rather the French word for "she") is what a wicked sense of humor is has. Not in the laugh-out-loud kind of way (although I certainly did so a few times), but in a dry, subversive way. There's a great subplot here involving Michèle's son (Jonas Bloquet) and the rather questionable girlfriend (Alice Isaaz) he's chosen for himself that goes places I don't think a Hollywood movie would dare (wait until you the scene where she gives birth!).

Unfortunately a lot of us avoid foreign movies because you have no desire to sit and read subtitles for two hours – I sometimes feel the same, but I encourage you to give this movie a chance. If you've loved Verhoeven's work here in the States, you'll get that same feeling with Elle. I don't know that it's the director's best movie, but it's definitely a contender.

Vital Disc Stats: (The Blu-ray.)

Elle arrives on Blu-ray in a standard Sony-type blue keepcase (the kind with the flap on the side you need to lift up to open the case) and contains no inserts. The 50GB Blu-ray is front-loaded with trailers for Equity, Julieta, Toni Erdmann, Maggie's Plan, and Our Little Sister. The main menu consists of a still image of actress Isabelle Huppert's character and the cat in the movie (the same image that graces the back of the keepcase's slick), with menu selections horizontally across the bottom of the screen.

The Blu-ray is region-free.

Michael P. Dempsey

Provocative psychological thriller

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2017

Verified Purchase

Director Paul Verhoeven is famous for his provocative films, often combining sex, violence and psychological power play. Actress Isabelle Huppert is famous for her demanding roles, often playing powerful women with an obsession for sex and/or violence.

Put the two together and you can guess what you get. Elle's lead character, Michèle, is a woman who owns a video game company, specializing in games filled with extreme sex and violence. She casually shares her bed with her best friend's husband. She masturbates watching the neighbour unloading the trunk of his car. Her father is a convicted serial killer. Oh, and she doesn't seem to mind getting raped.

At least, that's the impression after the very first scene. After having been attacked and violently raped, she doesn't call the police of even a friend, but a fast food restaurant, ordering something to eat.

The film explores not only Michèle's relationship with her rapist, whose identity is established after about two thirds of the film, but also the men and women in her immediate circle. They all have their problems and peculiarities, and Michèle seems to pull all their strings as a hard, cold woman, superbly mastering her feelings and emotions.

For the viewer, it takes some effort to understand all the different relationships, and even more to grasp Michèle's behaviour. The only explanation Verhoeven offers, is her troubled youth as the daughter of a serial killer. In my opinion, the film suffers from an overload of characters with psychological difficulties. There's a mother hiring a gigolo because she can't accept getting older, there's a son clinging to a dominating girlfriend, a neighbour with a wife obsessed with religion, an employee playing a dirty trick on Michèle, and so on. Personally, I found it a bit too much.

The one thing that stands out in this film, is Isabelle Huppert's acting. Any other actress could easily have made Michèle's character unbelievable. But Huppert's utter detachment from any form of sensitivity makes the part completely convincing.

Great actress, great material

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2021

Verified Purchase

Sometimes the stars align for a film, as is the case with the legendary French actress, Isabelle Huppert taking the lead in Paul Verhoeven's in-your-face thriller, Elle. Both the story and the star are superbly matched, here.

It is almost cliche to say that Verhoeven is controversial. Hardly any of his English-language films, from Robocop to Basic Instinct did not generate strident conversations. Elle was not different -- is no different -- in its uncomfortable look at the role a strong-willed woman plays in a still male-dominated society.

A middle-aged CEO of a computer gaming company in Paris is attacked in her home. Not particularly unique, except that rather than reporting the rape to the police -- which, let's face it, probably wouldn't do any good -- she decides to take matters into her own hands and find the "perp" herself. She might have gotten more than she bargained for as the rapist begins taunting her, and without spoiling anything, when she finds out who it is it is not only surprising, but a bit anti-climactic.

Verhoeven and his lead actress use the unusual, but clearly-told story as a vehicle for interrogating issues of sexual predation, sexism in the corporate world and much else. Rather well, I think.

Von Gewalt, Neugier, Anziehung und Rache...

Reviewed in Germany on May 11, 2019

Verified Purchase

„Elle“ ist ein provokanter, kontroverser Psychothriller aus dem Jahr 2016 von Paul Verhoeven, der ein weibliches Opfer von männlicher Gewalt nicht nach zu erwartenden Mustern handeln lässt.

Michèle (Isabelle Huppert) wird zu Hause von einem maskierten Mann überfallen, misshandelt und vergewaltigt. Doch fast ebenso schockierend wie die Tat selbst ist auch ihre Reaktion, ihre augenscheinliche Abgebrühtheit: Mund abputzen, Scherben auffegen, Wunden auswaschen, Entspannungsbad nehmen, Sushi bestellen. Statt die Polizei einzuschalten, lebt sie ihr Leben weiter, lässt sich nichts anmerken, aber sie bewaffnet sich ...

Dieses stoische Hinnehmen ist zunächst einfach nur unbegreiflich, geradezu erschreckend. „Einfach Weitermachen“ , scheint ihr Devise zu sein, denn wer die Kontrolle verliert wird erst zum Opfer. Vergeltung wird nicht klein geschrieben, bedarf aber eines kühlen Kopfes. Gerade wenn man, wie sie, gewohnt ist, sich zwischen dominanten Alpha-Männchen zu bewegen und ihnen immer die Stirn bieten muss.

„Elle“ ist allerdings weder eine Rachegeschichte noch eine detaillierte Charakterstudie, dafür sind die Narben zu tief, der angelernte, passiv-aggressive Schutzpanzer zu dick , aber es schimmert doch sehr nachvollziehbar immer mehr durch so manche Risse wie sie tickt. Ticken muss, sieht man es aus ihrer Warte.

Dabei ist Michèlle als Identifikationsfigur für feministische Solidarität erstmal denkbar ungewöhnlich. In ihrer Art und in ihrem Handeln. Doch nicht, weil sie nicht unter männlicher Unterdrückung leiden würde und auch nicht, weil sie nicht wüsste, wie man sich dagegen eloquent und geschickt zur Wehr setzen kann (was sie in einigen beeindruckenden Szenen tut), sondern weil sie ein in vielerlei Hinsicht absolut unsympathischer Mensch ist, was sich vor allem in ihrem Verhalten gegenüber ihrer sterbenden Mutter äussert. Aber auch gegenüber ihrer besten Freundin, mit deren Mann sie ungeniert eine Affäre hat, und ihr auch noch davon erzählt. Doch durch ihre unsympathischen, genauso wie durch ihre sympathischen Züge wird sie erst so menschlich und dadurch werden die ihr angetanen Verbrechen umso schmerzhafter. Sie ist kein heiliger Engel der geschändet wird. Sie ist einfach nur ein Mensch , der Opfer von Unterdrückung und Gewalt wird und sich schließlich mühselig das Recht auf Selbstbehauptung und individuelle Lebensweise erkämpft. Und sich dabei konsequent verweigert, ein Opfer zu sein, welches nicht selber über seine Sexualität verfügen kann.

Nie wieder hilflos, nie wieder überfordert sein, die Zügel egal in welcher Situation nie aus der Hand geben, komme was wolle. Den Spieß auch auf eigene Kosten umdrehen wenn es sein muss, mit allen Konsequenzen.

Direkt zu Beginn steht die Vergewaltigung, die man hört, aber nicht sieht. Doch Verhoeven spart nichts aus, wie erhofft. Er zeigt Gewaltspitzen, die den Film wieder und wieder durchziehen und einen unangenehm zusammenzucken lassen. Bis zum Schluss wird man an der Nase herumgeführt, wird mit den eigenen Erwartungen gespielt.

Ein intensiver, eindrucksvoller Film, ohne moralischem Zeigefinger, ohne Empörung, mit einer grandios aufspielenden Isabelle Huppert. Sehr sehenswert.

Merkwürfige Charaktere

Reviewed in Germany on November 24, 2018

Verified Purchase

Ich mag die Filme von Paul Verhoefen eigentlich sehr, sowohl seine ganz frühen Klassiker aus den Niederlanden,als auch seine Erfolge in Hollywood.,,Black Book'',wieder in den Niederlanden inszeniert, fand ich ebenfalls sehr sehenswert.Mit Elle habe ich allerdings so meine Probleme. Die Charaktere in diesem Film sind entweder emotionslos(Hauptdarstellerin) , durchgeknallt (Sohn und Freundin) ,sexsüchtig(Mutter)psychopathisch(Nachbar), oder pervers(Freund)um nur einige Beispiele zu nennen. Das die Hauptdarstellerin(Isabelle Huppert)zudem ein freundschaftliches Verhältnis zu ihrem äußerst brutalem Vergewaltiger pflegt,ist meiner Meinung nach total absurd und auch nicht nachvollziehbar.Eine tiefere Botschaft , die der Film eventuell vermitteln will, konnte ich auch nicht wirklich erkennen. Deshalb leider überhaupt nicht mein Fall, ich gebe den zweiten Punkt für die technische Umsetzung des Films.

Dramatische Vergewaltigungen mit genauso dramatischen Ende

Reviewed in Germany on June 22, 2019

Verified Purchase

Der Film ist nichts für hyper-Empfindsame. Er zeigt die mehrmalige Vergewaltigung einer Frau, die es teilweise genießt und sich schlussendlich dem Vergewaltiger hingibt - bis es beim letzten Mal zu einer unwillkommenen Hilfeaktion durch ihren erwachsenen Sohn kommt. Die psychischen Belastungen die sie durchleidet, bis sie das was geschieht als ein belastendes aber doch irgendwie positives Erlebnis einordnen kann werden hervorragend gespielt und nachfühlbar, erlebbar vermittelt. Sicher, der Film keine Ausrede für Vergewaltiger - es ist ein Film über eine Ausnahmesituation aber ausnahmslos hervorragend gespielt.

Tatsächlich die erste DVD durch die ich mich durchgequält habe und die im Anschluss direkt im Mülleimer gelandet ist! Den einen Stern nicht wert. Für die Storyline habe ich eigentlich garkeine Worte; unrealistisch, bescheuert, beleidigend ist alles was mir dazu einfällt. Die Hauptdarstellerin spielt emotionslos und steif ihre Rolle runter, einfach schlecht. Insgesamt schade ums Geld!

Isabelle Huppert : « Elle » toute seule

Reviewed in France on November 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

Sans revenir sur le synopsis du film, « Elle » n’est pas seulement dérangeant, mais surtout malsain.
Histoire d’une femme glaciale, insensible, sous laquelle se cache un volcan sexuel : tout tourne autour d’Isabelle Huppert, et dans une moindre mesure de Laurent Laffitte. Les autres protagonistes sont transparents.
C’est loin d’être un mauvais film avec une première partie où nous nous laissons transporter dans une intrigue troublante et déstabilisante, portée par des personnages insalubres. La fin est malheureusement bâclée, se terminant en queue de poisson. On a donc tendance à se dire : tout ça pour ça ?
Un film à la sauce libidineuse, où le psychologique se mêle à la perversité. Il faut aimer, ce n'est vraiment pas à la portée de tout le monde: pas convaincu, si ce n'est par le mal-être qu'inocule Elle.
