Interested in him for her new film, the two meet and Maud soon finds herself falling for Vilko's manipulative charm as their parasitic relationship hurtles out of control.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Good one submitted by jibkidder on June 26, 2022, 9:42pm Great Huppert performance here, and pretty interesting narrative, as it is not only about true events in the director's life, but about some major erring of hers. Ultimately, a sort of investigation into how little we understand what we do.
