New Trailer For Elle

 
Premiering to a divided reception at Cannes, Paul Verhoeven’s Elle has provoked some comment, not least because it’s the first major film Verhoeven has released since the 2007 drama Black Book. We’ve been waiting to get a look at it for a while now and it is finally here, the new U.S. trailer for Elle premiered, showcasing the obviously provocative and potentially subversive subject matter.

Isabelle Huppert is Michèle, the ruthless head of a video game company facing some competition in the workplace. After a shocking assault by a masked man in her own home, Michèle sets out to track the man down, setting into motion a series of life-altering events – at least one of which involves a hatchet.

The trailer for Elle certainly makes the case for the film, quickly intercutting images of the assault and the potential culprits with Michèle at home and at work. Beginning on a dinner scene to Michèle’s blithe announcement that she’s been assaulted, the trailer adds black humor and thriller-esque scenes to the intriguing premise.

Elle will screen at TIFF and NYFF, with a release from Sony Picture Classics on November 11.
