ANATOMY OF HELL (2004) ¢ ¢
D: Catherine Breillat
Amira Casar, Rocco Siffredi
A brooding French art film about a woman who picks up a man at a gay nightclub and hires him to spend four nights at her place watching her expose herself. For somebody who makes such explicit films about sex, Breillat seems incapable of finding any joy in it, and this might be the ultimate case in point. She does like to push the envelope, though. Her graphic approach just skirts the edge of hardcore, and the scene where the two leads share a glass of tampon tea is probably a first.
