Synopsis:

Isabelle is an ex-nun waiting for her special mission from God. In the meantime, she is making a living writing pornography. She meets Thomas, a sweet, confused amnesiac who cannot remember that he used to be a vicious pornographer, responsible for turning his young wife, Sofia, into the world's most notorious porn queen. Sofia's on the run, convinced she's killed him. Together, Isabelle and Thomas set out to discover his past, a past waiting to catch up with him.

Isabelle Huppert plays a nymphomaniac ex-nun photographer who never had sex but falls in love with Thomas, an amnesiac pornographer who is on the run from Holland after ripping off some corporate clients. US independent director Hal Hartley, famed for his quirky suburban romances, enters the world of genre via his obsession with Jean-Luc Godard in this indie classic from 1994.

Donovan plays Thomas, an amnesiac trying to put his life back together, who meets an ex-nun (Huppert) writing pornographic stories. The scenes of overt violence were new territory for Hartley, but the film was still in his usual deadpan and dialogue-driven style.
