Andrzej Zulawski's 'La Femme Publique' is a cinematic milestone rich with extreme imagery and raw emotions.  25 years after its controversial inception at the Cannes Film Festival, this story of a young, struggling actress retains the power to shock even the most seasoned of movie goers with its violently stylish, apocalyptic tone.  A woman's destiny, divided between angel and demon...An hour and 54 minutes of painful happiness, La Femme Publique scratches the soul, slaps the eyes, and seduces like the maelstrom that each one of us hides beyond the conscious.  To summarize La Femme Publique is impossible, dangerous and impoverishing.  Zulawski is not a man of words; he plays and juggles with the image, the color, the rhythm, the sound, the music, and this unspeakable shamelessness that he steals from his actors so effectively.  Between humor and paroxysm, La Femme Publique is a fascinating metaphysical experience with a degree of intensity that needs to be seen to be believed.  Simply put, it represents cinema at its most insane and brilliant!
