I 'rented' this from the Indianapolis library. It was amazing. Very European (goes without saying, eh?!). Little bit speechless...because...it was part fantasy, part very much reality (liked what I would like to imagine is the feminist/'real' female presence interpretation in the film). Wasn't expecting that either. Ah, but that of course was as it was meant to be, obviously. Very very clever film. Highly recommend. And by all means, get your teenage and pre-teen daughters to see this! Absolutement!! Won of the Art Cinema Award of Venice Intern'l Film Festival; is 'official selection' of the Toronto Intern'l Film Festival, the Rendez-Vouz of French Cinema, COLCOA Los Angeles French Festival, and the San Francisco International Film Festival.
