Special Treatment Page #3

Synopsis: Drawing some intriguing parallels between the work of the prostitute and that of the psychiatrist-both have clients, both charge for sessions, both take on roles that serve the needs, psychological or otherwise, of those they serve, Jeanne Labrune's drama stars Isabelle Huppert and Bouli Lanners as, respectively, Alice, a disaffected call girl and Xavier, a shrink with a crumbling domestic situation. With sex more talked about than shown, the film is filled with pointed dialogue and double entendres

you'll understand better.

I wrote the lyrics and

they the music.

Come on, my song!

What am I to do mother

when I like to eat?

I don't just eat a lot,

I eat with pleasure.

I shall go on a diet

in Heaven,

I shall go on a diet

in Hell.

"Are you h-h-honest?

Are you f-f-fair?

G-g-get thee to

a N-n-nunnery.

Why woulds't thou b-breed

sinners?"

That's very funny.

Is there any more?

"What is a m-m-man

when his main goal

"is to d-d-drink..."

No, n-n-not to drink,

but to

"sleep and eat".

"He is a l-l-livestock

and nothing more."

Bedtime. I'm switching

off the lights.

Wait, what's the hurry?

W-w-we are n-n-not

in hospital.

It's past 10 p.m.

Bedtime.

Ha! Curfew! - Get out,

or I'll call the Doctor.

Regular Gestapo.

- Ass kisser.

It's for the child...

and for you.

He's asleep.

You like children?

- A lot.

That's why I feel sorry for him

for not having a mother.

He needs her at this

tender age.

I don't understand how a

woman could

abandon her son and

such a man.

I've heard he was really

rotten to her

and that's why she ran away.

- If it was his fault...

...he wouldn't have custody

over his son.

Only a stupid woman would

do a thing like that.

It wasn't my fault either and

yet the took away my kids.

Who did she run

away with?

With some artist, they say.

- Do I hate artists!

Where to?

- You scared me!

Go back to your room. - We're

having a little bedtime snack.

I must go now.

- Stay a bit longer.

First I must return

the fish into the river.

Come on, don't be shy.

Don't worry, that's my son.

We have visitors. Two

incurable cases.

My honorable father and

his best friend.

I didn't come on a social visit,

I came for some money...

I gave you money

three days ago.

We are celebrating his

birthday. - Three whole days?

Explain to him why!

- I had a rough birth.

It lasted for three days.

Just give me the money.

Don't nag your old man.

When will you pay me back?

- When will I pay back?

I always keep my word. I'll pay

you back on the 1st.

Oh, you've got a job?

- God forbid...

I'll pay when you give

me my allowance.

No more money.

Here.

Oh, no! Is this a loan?

- It's a gift.

Don't do that.

You don't know him.

I know him. You are an

alcoholic. - You mean me?

Him, an alcoholic?

- You sure are.

You're destroying yourself and

degrading your son in this town.

You asked for money

but he turned you down,

so you took from me,

a total stranger.

Next you'll steal from someone.

- Me steal?

Or you'll rob a liquor store...

- He's right.

You're talking rubbish!

Are you crazy?

Are you calling me a thief,

you idiot?!

Let's calm down.

Stuff your money

you know were.

Shame on you.
