THE CAPTIVE (2000)

CHANTAL AKERMAN

Plot

An adaptation of Proust's "La Prisonniere", set in contemporary Paris, about a jealous man who prefers to keep his lover cooped up inside their apartment rather than risk her going outside and being tempted by sexual liaison. But who's the prisoner, her in the flat or him consumed by jealousy? A critically acclaimed tale of dysfunctional love.
