Anatomie de l'enfer (2004)
(Anatomy of Hell)
Country: FR
Technical: col 77m
Director: Catherine Breillat
Cast: Amira Casar, Rocco Siffredi
Synopsis:
A woman pays a gay man to look at her where she is 'irregardable', in order to anatomise the disgust with which the female anatomy fills him, and by extension all men, so that the conflict between that and their desire drives them to abuse and even murder...
Review:
The director films her own novel and challenges viewers' sensibilities with a gardening tool handle inserted into the vagina and a tampon dipped, teabag-like, into a glass of water. As to what she is trying to prove, enlightenment comes best from listening to her speaking about the film rather than watching it, but it has a brevity and trenchant quality in its favour. Strictly for fans only, however.
