I want to fucking choke. I watched this movie because Eva Green cited this as the film that inspired her to become an actress and EVERYTHING FINALLY MAKES SENSE. Goddamnit. I know this next sentence overlaps themes but I couldn't get "Wuthering Heights" by Kate Bush out of my head after the film.

ISABELLE ADJANI IS A MASTER.

Love, self-humiliation, desperation, madness. Powerful, but not in the book.
