I LOVE that movie. Connie Nielsen is absolutely beautiful & wonderfully cool in this part. And, I love the Gina Gershon role, as well as Charles Berling. It's very well acted, wonderful cinematography & the plot is bloody chilling. The story is a bit grim, but everything is well done & makes one wonder if the plot is true. I'm sure it is... I'd just rather believe it isn't.
I have it on DVD, as well. Got mine in a $4 bin & took a chance on it.

Well, the ending is open to interpretation but a few things......which should be under spoiler to protect our studio audience at home.

I found the ending rather reminded of the 1st season "La Femme Nikita" episode "Charity" where

the villain is telling our heroine "All right, we don't only sell children. We have several clients who would be interested in a woman such as you. First they will get you hooked on heroin. That usually takes about two weeks and after that, I assure you will do anything to get your next fix. After a while, your owners will tire of you, as they always do, and will sell you to a house, perhaps in the orient. In a year or two, you will be dead, but I assure you, you will have died inside a lot sooner."
Hmmmmm, Demonlover was like that and more, where they demonstrated that when you become useless to the company, if you are a woman, then you have one last value (but men have no value at all).
As to whether or not it is real, well at least the last part was in one interpretation. A question I once asked in sex slave research was what happens to the bodies, how do they get rid of the bodies without authorities becoming suspicious. The answer I got was that where such things are established, they just make arrangements with the locals to put one more body in a standard burial or something like that.
Hence, in the end of the movie, we had a fate that was rather plausible at least.
Just maybe I was more receptive to the impact of the movie, what between the languages and with the possibilities that I know.
Chariots Of Fire, which won the Best Picture Oscar at the 1982 Oscars in an 'upset' over Reds, for which Warren Beatty won the Oscar for Best Director: I really enjoyed it.
