Aroview: This messy yet mesmerizing tale of visceral sexual obsession has vamp Beatrice Dalle spoiling a couple's Paris honeymoon when she develops a carnally violent bond with new groom Vincent Gallo.

Unconcerned with genre conventions, this is stubbornly out-of-whack and uneven, but rises above its narrative folly with a quietly imposing atmosphere and original, art film recasting of vampire and werewolf archetypes. There are a couple of scenes that will remain indelible in the memory.
