Secret Defense (1998) *

Directed by Jacques Rivette. With Sandrine Bonnaire, Jerzy Radziwillowicz and Gregoire Collin. A young woman (Bonnaire) wants to kill a man (Radziwillowicz) whom she suspects of having caused the death of her father. A long, boring, pointless, pretentious, convoluted, but nonetheless quite intriguing psychological thriller moving at a snail's pace towards a rather unexpected conclusion. There are worse ways of spending three hours of your life.
