House of Tolerance (L'Apollonide: Souvenirs de la maison close), dir. Bertrand Bonello, France 2011, French with English subtitles, 125 min.
The dawn of the 20th century: L'Apollonide, a house of tolerance, is living its last days. Between men who fall in love and the ones who become viciously harmful, the girls share their daily secrets and pains under the scrutiny of Madame Marie-France.
An opium and champagne soaked delve into a turn of the century Parisian brothel, Bonello's international breakout is a haunted and hermetic exploration of sexuality, desire, and the human body.
