Summary: A Movie For Adults! Finally!
Review: Largely ignored during it's theatrical release, Benoit Jacuot's absorbing Paris soap-opera is well worth the watch. Based upon a story by Mishima, this enveloping, frequently erotic, melodrama introduces Dominique, a seemingly aloof Paris fashion executive who falls for the charms of Quentin, a youthful bisexual prostitute who may or may not be playing Huppert for all she's worth. Always unpredictable, and with a conclusion that's both adult and satisfying, the film is also a prime showcase for actress Isabelle Huppert, who's surely reaching a new and glorious peak. As Dominique, Huppert is remarkably distilled, not a move is wasted; a simple glance, or the casual flick of her wrist, is all it takes to pull you in. Vincent Lindon, as the kickboxing prostitute, surely looks the part, and he plays well against Huppert in several heated and emotionally revealing lovemaking scenes. In many ways, given it's hushed tones and it's imminent threat of erotic danger, "School of Flesh" works even better on the home screen.

Summary: See it again and again!!
Review: What a sensual, sexy, and heartbreaking story! The modern tale of a love triangle between an older woman and a younger man...and the third party that threatens their fragile bond. And the third party? If I identify who or what that is, it'll be a spoiler. You must watch it and see! The movie is quintessentially French...passionate love, beautifully intertwined dialogue/scenes, and an extra bit of simmering drama. This is the type of movie that grows on you and stays with you. Both Isabelle Huppert and Vincent Martinez portray their character so beautifully that you'll fall in love with them, and this movie, over and over again. Fabulous, just lovely!
