Paul Verhoeven directs this drama adapted from Philippe Djian's novel.

After being sexually assaulted in her own home, successful video game company director Michèle Leblanc (Isabelle Huppert) sets out on a mission to find her mysterious attacker.

Electing not to report the crime to the police, Michèle attempts to hunt down the assailant on her own, and in the process, becomes embroiled in a dangerous game of cat and mouse which soon threatens to get out of hand.

The cast also includes Laurent Lafitte, Anne Consigny and Charles Berling.

The film was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards, winning in both categories for Best Performance By an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama (Huppert) and Best Foreign Language Film, and an Academy Award for Best Actress (Huppert).
