A journalist (Juliette Binoche) reports on 2 young students who turn tricks to make ends meet, starts to lose the run of herself. Several sex acts are depicted, and from one of the girls there is the impression that she relishes her work, but nothing is ever presented in a lurid or judgmental fashion. The cool and inscrutable Binoche's descent into
niggly malaise doesn't 'link' all that well with her professional subject however, perhaps they were coincidental....
Showing as part of QFT's 'Talking Movies' slot, it's a serious film, and judging by the academic introduction, will have provided ample ammunition for the debate scheduled to follow it. Not that that makes a great film. 6/10.
