Watch L'ennui (1998) Official Trailer
An Obsession Out of Control
5.4 / 10 IMDb November 14, 1998 2h 2m
A philosophy teacher restless with the need to do something with his life meets a young woman suspected of driving an artist to his death. He finds the very simple Cecilia irritating but develops a sexual rapport with her. Obsessed with the need to own and tormented by her inability to respond to him, he becomes increasingly violent in a quest he can't name - a quest that slowly begins to undermine his certainties.
