Isabelle Huppert plays an ex-nun trying to write pornographic fiction. She takes in a seemingly pleasant, well-dressed amnesiac (Michael Donovan) who has only Dutch coins in his pocket when he walks into a diner.
I'd never seen a Hal Hartley movie before. It wasn't what I expected. I guess I made cruel assumptions about him based on his bland, wholesome-sounding name.
An antidote to all the movies where accountants working for organized crime are hapless victims who don't know what's going on until it's too late and they're in over their heads. And it was refreshing to see the Dutch as the bad guys.
Featured on The Criterion Channel with other movies starring Huppert.
