I enjoy being challenged and asked to think about what's going on. Films that spell everything out, or are otherwise easy and pander to the audience aren't entertaining, they're dull.

Akerman in La captive, as in most of her best films, leaves things open and expects the viewer to be intelligent enough to work things out. That's how it ought to be.
