A bourgeois couple, modern yet conventional. One night by accident, a young prostitute barges into their lives.

Stormy encounters for everyone involved.

NETFLOWERS:
CHAOS- THE MOVIE.
CONTAINS SPOILERS. CHAOS. The best movie I have seen all year!!!, and last year as well. This is why I love movies, why I rent movies because every now and then you come across a gem. This movie reminds me of "DIVA", but it is ten times better the DIVA. It starts with a bang when an Algerian prostitute named Noemie begs for a ride from Paul and his wife Helene as they drive by the scene of her merciless beating at the hands of three pimps. Paul locks the doors and, after the pimps have gone, leaving Noemie unconscious, Paul gets out of the car only to wipe Noemie's blood off the windshield. The story is about Noemie and the other female characters' struggles to find individuality and freedom from under the thumb of the men in their lives. But the film doesn't stop there - it also makes observations (and hence, commentary) about French society, Muslim cultures, and a variety of other aspects of modern life. The movie starts off fast and it does not slow down a bit. I loved this movie, it is CHAOS. A GEM. THE BEST MOVIE I HAVE SEEN THIS YEAR.
