Belgian writers and directors Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani made their feature debut with this pretentious mess. A woman is portrayed in three phases, in childhood, adolescence and adulthood. The directors opt for style instead of substance which delivers some striking imagery but that's all. There's absolutely no character development or psychological context between the phases depicted. It's retro look and mix of horror and eroticism work in images but in a film. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
