The Whirlpool (2012)
Torrid Love Affair Burns Up the Screen
2 January 2021 - 1 out of 2 users found this review helpful.
Pretty but lonely Agathe (Agathe Feoux) meets charming French grifter named Victor (Pierre Perrier) while vacationing at Niagara Falls. Both have somewhat dubious careers and pasts, and they quickly fall for each other. What follows is a sometimes turbulent and sexually explosive love affair shot in a retro experimental style reminiscent of the 60's Nouvelle Vague-think Goddard and Truffaut. Agathe is honest and raw in her emotions, while Victor can be controlling and mean. Their romance morphs into a road trip eastward across New York State: could this be true love after all? Beautiful cinematography by director Alvin Case compliments bravura acting performances by both leads. A sexy and fun look at romance, French style.
