Grace (Chloe Sevigny), a diligent journalist, is trying to write a story about Dr. Philip Lacan (Stephen Rea), a physician known for his controversial methods. But the more digging Grace does, the more she uncovers about an incredible conspiracy involving human experimentation. At Dr. Lacan's side is Angelique (Lou Doillon), an alluring woman with a mysterious past. Douglas Buck directs this remake of Brian De Palma's identically titled classic.

Those of us who like French cinema do so because, more often than not, the French display subtlety and skill in creating all sorts of different kinds of movies- light and heavy, political and whimsical. This is not one of them. In fact, other than the rampant, unapologetic sexuality, this could have been an American movie, and though I do like American movies, this is not meant as a complement. If you want a better French movie of this genre, try "The Taste of Others" or "Same Old Song"
