Superb study of a mature woman's knowledge of herself, 25 April 1999
8/10
Author: Gonzalo Melendez (gonz30) from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

A superb study of a mature woman's knowledge of her inner self, and acting out on instinct, regardless of the consequences, THE SCHOOL OF FLESH is memorable. Isabelle Huppert, at home playing cold, calculated women, shines as the mature woman, supported by fine performances, notably by Vincent Lindon, in a highly atypical role, and professional direction by veteran Benoit Jacquot.
