Product Description

Amazon.ca

Thème classique de la science-fiction, la robotisation de l'être humain, ici par manipulation psychologique, a inspiré à Luc Besson un film qui vise à une certaine ambition philosophique en posant le problème de l'intégrité individuelle face au totalitarisme. Malgré quelques faiblesses de détail et une évidente maladresse dans le registre strictement psychologique, Nikita possède une force expressive qui rend son propos convaincant. La réussite de cette fable tient, d'une part, à un sens visuel assez peu commun dans le cinéma français, d'autre part, à l'interprétation très maîtrisée d'Anne Parillaud qui trouve probablement là son meilleur rôle. Elle confère à son personnage une ambiguïté fascinante, et au film une sensibilité humaine à laquelle Besson ne nous avait guère habitués. --Michel Marmin

Synopsis
Nikita est une junkie. Durant le casse désespéré d'une pharmacie, elle assiste au massacre sauvage de ses compagnons par la police. Hébétée, en manque, elle tue un policier. Condamnée à vie pour meurtre, elle va avoir la chance de se racheter en signant avec l'État un pacte sanglant et implacable, une nouvelle identité, une relative liberté si elle devient un assassin à la solde du gouvernement.

5.0 out of 5 stars The original is still the best July 31 2003
By B. Pytlinski
Format:DVD
After years of remakes and cable shows, I see this film today and there is a combined sense of romance and danger that can't be recreated by anyone but Besson. BLACK CAT was decent, POINT OF NO RETURN was sickening and the cable show constantly cheapens and makes light of the character's weaknesses and sexuality. The story, yes. The action, yes. The cinematography, you know it. But the one thing that keeps me coming back for this film is it's aura and Anne's unique and powerful screen presence.

5.0 out of 5 stars La Femme Nikita is a MASTERPIECE July 10 2003
By Bob
Format:DVD
This film is incredible. If you have seen Point of No Return starring Bridget Fonda, you have seen a Hollywood-ified scene by scene interpretation of this piece of art. The french original has a mood all its own, a very sexy, foreboding and enticing attitude that grabs you by the balls and refuses to let go for over two hours...but you enjoy it so much that it seems like much less.It is a must see for anyone into action, feminist, artistic, creative, stylized,and critical films.
