DVD Review: ‘House of Pleasures’ Vividly Explores Life in Parisian Brothel
Submitted by mattmovieman on March 29, 2012 - 9:01amCHICAGO – L’Apollonide, the Parisian brothel in Bertrand Bonello’s “House of Pleasures,” is one of the most vividly realized movie locations in recent memory. The voyeuristic allure of cinema fuses with the film’s painterly imagery to create a subtly surrealistic dreamscape within the establishment’s claustrophobic walls. The picture is seductive and repellant in about equal measure, but never short of hypnotic.
