Honoré’s scandalous, notorious second feature (“uncommercial in the extreme,” sniffed Variety) returns in a new, 20th anniversary restoration. Somewhere in the Canary Islands, promiscuous mother Hélène (the ever-impressive Isabelle Huppert), cool and in charge, and her pious Catholic teenaged son Pierre (Louis Garrel, fresh off The Dreamers), just back from boarding school, discuss his father’s infidelity. But when the family patriarch dies in a car crash, Hélène launches into a wild series of parties, gradually involving her son in her drugging, drinking and sex-fueled nights out.

Very Interesting Film

"The slipcover is really cool, as always with VS movies and the performances, the desires represented here are also quite interesting. It is definitely a very unique, and different kind of movie. The peerless VS restoration transfer process was on full display with stellar sound and picture! Thank you, VS, for continuing to lovingly restore and release so many wonderful films from every conceivable genre! You are keeping physical media alive in this streaming world we now live in! Highly recommended!"

Mama Mia

"Very strange, and disturbing movie. Isabelle Huppert is once again bold in choosing such a controversial role, but as usual she is exceptional in her work. Her acting alone is enough to warrant a 3 star rating."
