Sharp and witty but shot through with resonant tragedy, celebrated indie auteur Hal Hartley's 'Amateur' is a twisted metaphysical thriller that has been hailed as one of his greatest works.
An ex-nun (Isabelle Huppert), trying to turn her hand to writing pornography, meets Thomas (Martin Donovan), a recovering amnesiac in search of his estranged wife. The two set out in search of Thomas' past but soon discover a trail of secrets leading to the dark, violent heart of his previous life and the pain that forced him to forget...
★★★★ "Huppert (in a role written specially for her) exudes her customary class" - David Wood, BBC
