Aroview: An insinuating future-shock Euro-thriller, with Connie Neilsen as an attractive corporate executive caught in the manouvering over an online pornography empire.

Making a pertinent and chilling speculation about the internet's moral vacuum at its banal nastiest, this goes most of the way as one of the sleekest, most compulsive thrillers in recent years, that is, until dir. Assayas willfully nosedives the plot into an abyss of nightmarish pretension a la LOST HIGHWAY.
