The spectacular debut from Gaspar Noe's (Irreversible) wife. Can't say enough good things about it. I really love it.

Anyone else seen it?

Christ, just look at this mise-en-scene!

This thread is booming.

that first screen shot alone makes me want to see it

Do it!

Not that it really matters, but what's it about?

It's hard to describe. It basically follows a group of young girls at some kind of strange boarding school. There's no real linear story or even an explanation of what's going on. It's all about tone and atmosphere. I think you'd like it.

Yeah, plot doesn't really matter to me. I'll definitely check it out.

I did not think this was a newer film. That's cool that it was made in 2004.

Why is that "cool"?

I'm not trying to be an asshole - I'm genuinely curious.

It just seems like people don't really do films like this much anymore. Back in the 60's and 70's especially you could get away with your movie not really being about anything, but those days (sadly) seem to be on the wane. It also just looked older, so I was pleasantly surprised that it was so recent.

Ah I see. Cool.
