My God, that's a dark film...I'm glad I know nothing of brothels and prostitution, even the so-called high-class end, the 'elegant', 'sophisticated' world shown there.
It's beautifully shot and acted, and the scenes of the girls' affection for each other in their time off are very touching; but it left me with a sick feeling, more than a whiff of corruption. I doubt I'll watch it again anytime soon.
Adele's character says at one point, "If I ever get out of here, I'll never make love again", and you know just what she means.
Celine Sallette is excellent too, a great tragedienne.
