About House of Pleasures
The dawn of the 20th century: L’Apollonide, a luxurious and traditional brothel in Paris, is living its last days. In this closed world, where some men fall in love and others become viciously harmful, the women share their secrets, their fears, their joys and their pains.
Directed by Bertrand Bonello, House of Pleasures leans on a strong ensemble — Noémie Lvovsky, Hafsia Herzi, Céline Sallette — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2011.
