A quite unique achievement by Polanski, although it does recall (in its limited sets and number of characters) his two 1994 projects, "Death and the Maiden" (as director) and "A Pure Formality" (as actor). Features what is most likely Emmanuelle Seigner's career-best performance; Mathieu Amalric's casting is also fascinating for his uncanny physical resemblance to Polanski himself. *** out of 4.
