Paul Verhoeven is best known for his sci-fi hits (Total Recall, RoboCop, Starship Troopers) and his erotic thriller Basic Instinct, which he shot in the 80s and 90s. This was followed, however, by a long phase in which it seemed as if he, the former master director, no longer had any exciting stories to tell the cinema. But in 2016, this notion turned out to be a fallacy. Paul Verhoeven made an impressive comeback in 2016 with the psychological thriller masterpiece “ Elle ”, which upset genre conventions .
Because the French-German co-production not only received really strong reviews, but also received the main prize for Best Film at the César Awards 2017, the most important French film award. In addition, Isabelle Huppert was honored with a César as Best Actress and nominated for an Oscar.
«Elle» will be broadcast today, May 16, 2022, at 9:45 p.m. without commercial breaks on the Arte TV channel. Alternatively, you can stream the film on Amazon Prime Video .

But when she learns the identity of the rapist, things take an unexpected turn…
