The Labyrinth of Love

1994 · 86 min

A languid, soft-focus seduction drama that drifts through a colonial household, more about atmosphere and slow provocation than plot.

Overview: Valerie, a maid of French descent (Monica Seller), comes to work for a family in Saigon of the 1930s/40s. One by one, she seduces the members of the family: the dame de la maison, the widower, young gay sonny with his friend from university, and grandpa.
How it feels: Romantic, melancholic, cynical and tense. Measured and easy to follow.
