La Vie Promise

2002 • Director: Olivier Dahan

Foreign • 93 minutes • Unrated
Empire Pictures
Starring Isabelle Huppert, Pascal Greggory

Is it an art film? The visuals and seductive music make it a lively sensory experience. However, the subject matter is dark and discomfiting: an aging prostitute is on the run with her estranged daughter where they meet a man with his own secrets. Verdict: road movie with a weak script.
Rating: B
