A lonely book restorer, Anna M. (Isabelle Carré), becomes infatuated with her doctor, Dr André Zenevsky (Gilbert Melki), and begins to stalk him.
Writer-director Michael Spinosa chronicles dispassionately Anna's increasingly psychotic and violent behaviour as she tries to attract Zanevsky's attention. The tone of the film is realistic and avoids the over-the-top murderous obsession of 'Fatal Attraction', though dog lovers and parents of young children may feel a little uneasy with some of the scenes. Isabelle Carré gives a believable performance as the troubled Anna.
A rather frustrating film because we are not given any clues as to the cause of Anna's condition (there is a hint that it is not the first time) and Spinosa seems content to just show us the consequences of her actions.
French with English subtitles.
3 out of 5 stars.
