An online source for movies and interviews Visit http://www.smartentertainmentgroup.com Dutch filmmaker Paul Verhoeven has made a name for himself with films like Robocop, Total Recall, Basic Instinct, and Starship Troopers. His latest feature Elle is a twisted dark comedy about rape and sexual politics that practically dares viewers to scream in outrage. Yet thanks to the perfect casting of the stunningly talented Isabelle Huppert in the complicated lead role and Verhoeven’s patented mix of wit and style, the film works. Constantly teetering on the edge of utter offensiveness, yet always intelligently controlled and executed, the filmmaker’s latest provocation proves to be a thoroughly satisfying conversation piece, character study, and dirty little thriller. Bonnie Laufer Krebs @movi_boni got a chance to talk to the 78-year-old director shortly after the film’s North American premiere at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, to discuss ELLE and some of his other films.
