Controversial effort from filmmaker Abdellatif Kechiche ("Blue Is the Warmest Color") takes a sobering look at the short and exploited life of Sara Baartman (Yahima Torres), the full-figured South African woman brought by unscrupulous handlers to early 19th-century Europe, where she was notoriously exhibited to leering crowds and disdainful doctors as the "Hottentot Venus." Disquieting drama co-stars Andre Jacobs, Olivier Gourmet, Elina Löwensohn. 159 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: French DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio, DTS HD stereo Master Audio; Subtitles: English; festurette; theatrical trailer. In French with English subtitles.
