Canadian writer and director Denis Villeneuve made this whimsical drama about fate. After a young and beautiful woman has an abortion, her life takes a downward spiral. Villeneuve made a unique film that takes risks, some works while others don't. He goes from dead serious to deadpan comedy which is unsettling but his take on themes such as moral responsibility and consequences are fascinating. Marie-Josée Croze gives a compelling performance the troubled woman whose irresponsible behaviour teaches her some life lessons. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
