Digital Monday, Disc July 10 Back in the 1980s, Paul Verhoeven directed the original Robocop and in the 1990s the trashy fleshfests Basic Instinct and Showgirls.

Now he’s back to seduce you with this stylish and twisted psychologi­cal thriller.

Isabelle Huppert was Oscar nominated for her mesmerisin­g turn as a businesswo­man raped in her home by a masked assailant.

We witness the shocking and graphic attack several times. Each version reveals more about the incident, and of Michele’s view of herself. As she hunts the perpetrato­r, her response to her violation stirs the muddy waters of morality with a devious elegance.
