House of Tolerance (Bertrand Bonello, 2011)

8/10
An ultra-slick French film about the last days of a brothel in Paris, it's almost obscenely over the top in style but I guess that's fitting, considering the time. The ensemble is great, as you really get a sense of each individual woman's personality. There's a fantastic scene with (anachronistically enough) the Moody Blues' "Nights in White Satin" that really won the movie over for me.
