I agree with Evan. I just finished watching this movie and found it almost unbearable. My girlfriend enjoys movies with "strong female leads" but this one takes it too far. The Isabelle Huppert character made no sense to me. Overall, the movie was more or less nonsensical, violent, and could even be said to glorify colonialism -- although that just might be me and my EHM political views. In a way, the movie also reminded me of Tara and Gone With the Wind, another movie that glorified the plantations of the past. This is the kind of movie that gives foreign films a bad name. And it is a shame that the critics seem to be falling for it.
