France

Because I haven't succeeded in staying as furious as I frankly wanted to stay, after first experiencing its brutality and climactic nihilism. The zero-bullshit portrait of sisterly love-hate and of sexual brainwashing, including of oneself, resonates even longer than the horror and rage that Breillat quite deliberately evokes. And not a shot is out of place.
