A high-school teacher whose vocational-science class is getting out of control gets zapped by a strange dose of electricity in the lab one day and finds herself becoming transformed. As a variation on Stevenson, this is more "Blackboard Jungle" than horror, but for teachers, that's horror enough. Unless your favorite subject in school was physics, the exposition can get pretty dense, but nobody does repressed passion with more chilling restraint than Isabelle Huppert. It's not a bad movie necessarily, but it's an odd one.
