 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })La captive (The Captive/The Prisoner) is a 2000 film from Belgium directed by Chantal Akerman.Simon and Ariane are two young Francophone Belgians in a peculiar relationship. Simon is possessive of Ariane to an extreme degree, usually following her around whenever she goes out, and getting her friends to tell him what Ariane did whenever he can't watch her himself. She seems to have little problem with this relationship, even occasionally subtly goading him, like when she lies to him about an invitation to a reception that is in her purse.Simon cannot free himself of his fixations and eventually comes to believe that she is cheating on him with women. While he is a very strange man, he isn't a violent man, so all he does is ask her to move out of his apartment. She agrees, but will Simon be able to give up control?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Bérénice Bejo plays Sarah, one of Ariane's friends.

 Control Freak: He isn't violent about it, but Simon has a deep need to control Ariane every second of the day, to know where she's going and what she's doing, and even to know her thoughts. It's the fact that he can't know her thoughts that leads to him deciding to break up with her.

 The Film of the Book: This movie is actually an adaptation of Marcel Proust's La Prisonnière, the fifth book in Proust's cycle In Search of Lost Time (sometimes titled in English as Remembrance of Things Past).

 Dude, She's Like, in a Coma!: Played with. Part of Simon's bizarre mix of pathologies is a need to have his partner pretend to be sleeping during sex—this seems to be the only way he can get it up. Ariane does this for him; he also asks a streetwalker to do it but then has her leave the car when her fake sleeping is unsatisfactory. He also tells Ariane how he likes to smell her private parts when she's sleeping. (Simon is a weird guy.)
