This is a sad movie about the destruction of innocence, Hedonism, loneliness.
At it's best the movie can reach it's ambitious goals and let you wonder about the things you see. I don't know the work of Bataille but the film also refers to the work of M. Houellebecq and Ch. De Laclos.
At it's worst the movie is very dull and seems to last for ages and I was annoyed about the "look what we dare to show" mentality.
The acting is fine but to be honest, this isn't the best movie with Isabelle Huppert I'd ever seen (but also it's not the worst; remember Ghost river).
