Horror Vault's take

Marina de Van's unflinching French extreme-cinema statement follows an ambitious career woman whose accidental injury opens a door she cannot close — a consuming, obsessive fascination with her own flesh. What begins as something she can hide from colleagues and a partner spirals into a private ritual that blurs the line between self and wound. De Van directs and stars, crafting a deeply uncomfortable portrait of a woman whose body seems to develop desires entirely its own. Few films make physicality feel this alien and this intimate at the same time.
