Summary: Isabelle Huppert (actress) at The Landmark in West Los Angeles. Moderated by Ted Mundorff, President and CEO of Landmark Theatres. Film synopsis: Michèle (Isabelle Huppert, Things to Come, Amour, The Piano Teacher) is a rich and powerful woman, head of her own successful video game company that specializes in violent erotic games, who brings the same ruthless attitude to her love life as to business. But she is forced to face her own powerlessness when she is attacked in her home by an unknown assailant, changing her life forever. Determined to reclaim her confident life, Michèle vows to identify and track down her assailant and wreak retribution. She suspects all around her, including friends, former lovers, neighbors and colleagues at work, and is drawn into a curious and thrilling game of cat and mouse with the mystery man—a game that may, at any moment, spiral out of control. Psychologically fascinating, Elle is perverse and provocative, yet gripping and suspenseful. Based on the novel Oh… by Philippe Djian. With Charles Berling, Laurent Lafitte and Anne Consigny. Directed by Paul Verhoeven (Basic Instinct, Black Book). (Fully subtitled)
