Secret Things (2004)

I love this movie so much

Best movie ever!

Beautiful, moving film.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

This movie was recommended by Netflix for gay people. The opening scene with a female pleasing herself was at first a put off (partially because I'm a gay male) but I decided to give the movie a little bit of time to develop. I am very glad I did. Even as a gay man i found the sexual tension palpable, and clearly not for any gratuitous reasons. This movie found the perfect balance of what was shown and what was not. Many men whom believe in a innate weakness of women would not like to watch this movie, it will make you feel uncomfortable. Forget gender bias and watch this great movie with a open mind it truly is a cinematic pleasure.Thanks, Matthew

Nathalie (Coralie Revel) is an exotic dancer, and Sandrine (Sabrina Seyvecou) is a bartender. They get fired by their scumbag boss and move in together where Nathalie teaches Sandrine how to use her femininity to capture men. They devise a plan to move up in the corporate world using sex to succeed.They both get hired at the same bank and set their sights on Christophe Barnay (Fabrice Deville), as he will inherit the firm one day. She has no idea how twisted he truly is.First, Sandrine gets a position under Delacroix (Delacroix), and uses her charms to completely captivate him. She gets Nathalie moved to the office, and soon they are a menage a trois for one night, as Christophe catches them and dismisses Delacroix, while promoting the both of them to higher positions.Sandrine becomes involved with Christophe and his sister in another menage a trois. This leads to marriage and an amazing ending after his father dies.Brilliant cinematography and music, and a fascinating story.

A stripper and a barmaid walk into a bar...um no (although that would have made a more interesting film)...they move in together, carry on with each other, and find employment at a bank so that they can seduce men and move up in the world. There is also an orgy scene that seems to be borrowed from another movie. In the end it tries to become an art movie with something important to say. The fact is this film does not know what it wants to be when it grows up. The direction is pretentious and the acting is lame. Even the extended opening strip scene becomes tedious. Somehow this drivel was given the Best Film award by the famous French periodical Cashiers du Cinema.

One of the best movies I've seen in a while. Not for the conservative minded or squeamish, from beginning to end there is little more than sex. But that's integral to the plot. This is a movie that showcases the violence and the decay that is just under the surface of respectable society. It's about two strong characters who begin down the road to a tragedy of their own making. It questions morality, it pushes the limits, it steps over 'that thin line', and it takes us over the line with it. It is human weakness, irrationality, and most of all, obsession, on film. The acting, both in and out of the "bedroom" was excellent. It is sometimes hard to follow, especially with the subtitles, but that only makes watching it a second time more worth it. I've never seen it on sale or for rent in a store, but if you have an online DVD rental service, then you'll have no problem getting a hold of it.
