A man plagued by neuroses frequents the club Exotica in an attempt to find solace, but even there his past is never far away.

Set in a strip club called Exotica, it explores desire, loss, and human connections. The story revolves around Francis, a tax auditor infatuated with Christina, a dancer with a mysterious past. The film delves into themes of voyeurism and grief, revealing the intricate emotions of its characters. Good drama, not that thriller-ish, with good music and great acting. Five popcorns, one of the actually good movies to win Palme d’Or at Cannes (in 1994). Straight into the Movie Vault.
