A high profile politician falls for his son's fiancée with tragic consequences, in Louis Malle's gripping, erotically charged thriller.
Binoche turns femme fatale in Louis Malle and David Hare's adaptation of Josephine Hart's 'scandalous' novel, in which a high-profile politician (Irons) falls for his son's fiancée (Binoche) with tragic consequences. Like a sphinx, her French art-dealer character Anna mesmerises the men she encounters in this London-based story. Although Damage features notorious sex scenes and nudity, it is still Binoche's face which is the centre of attention.
