La Captive, La Captive

Chantal Akerman

Ariane lives with Simon in a large Parisian flat.

He wants to know everything about her, follows

her around, and subjects her to constant

questioning. The fact that he knows about

Ariane’s taste for women, that he suspects that

she has a double life, only exacerbates his pain,

his helplessness and probably his desire for her.
