Michèle, the formidable head of a Paris video-game company, is raped by a masked intruder in her own home and decides not to go to the police — instead she methodically sets out to identify her attacker and determine, on entirely her own terms, what she will do about it. Paul Verhoeven's audacious and deeply unsettling film is anchored by Isabelle Huppert's ferocious performance, transforming a thriller framework into a portrait of absolute self-possession.
