Soaking the perennial rape/revenge thriller in a strikingly hypnotic style, Forgeat’s film debut reframes the genre's typical proclivities with a gaze that scrutinizes male bodies and foregrounds its protagonist's transformation into a vehicle of vengeance. Jen arrives at a remote desert villa with her millionaire boyfriend for a weekend of romantic (and illicit) frivolity. Things go south quickly when her lover's hunting pals show up and things escalate into an assault. The men quickly try to sweep their attack under the rug, but Jen won't have it and, well… hell hath no fury.....
Dir. Coralie Forgeat, France, 2017, 108 mins.
Cast. Matilda Lutz, Kevin Janssens.
