La Truite
Through his use of light, color, sound, and space, Joseph Losey makes every location a sensual delight. His just-right sense of camera placement, and of when and where to move it, helps too. And the fact that many of those locations are in Tokyo doesn't hurt. To take any interest in what goes on in these locations is another matter. The heroine (Isabelle Huppert) seems to some degree to adhere, still, to the principles of an adolescent secret society (membership of three) dedicated to "getting things out of men without ever giving them anything." How those principles are applied remains rather obscure. With Jeanne Moreau and Jean-Pierre Cassel. 1982.
