Product Description

Product Description

French director Catherine Breillat directs this avante-garde sexual drama based on her own novel 'Pornocatie'. A woman (Amira Casar) goes into the toilets of a gay nightclub and attempts suicide by cutting her wrists. She is rescued from her fate by a gay man (Rocco Siffredi) who takes her to a pharmacy and sees that she is bandaged up. When he takes the woman back to her apartment, she makes an offer to the man: if he will watch her, simply watch her, for four nights, she will pay him for the task. As if to prove her belief that men - and especially gay men - hate and fear women, she sets out to disgust him with her body and her sexuality.

5.0 out of 5 starsA VERY THOUGHT PROVOKING MOVIE
By A Customer on 25 Sept. 2005
Format: DVD
In order to appreciate this movie one must watch it in conjunction with director's interview (offered as a special feature on DVD). Here, the female middle-aged director explains how our views of sexuality and obscenity are socially constructed and subject to change through the course of human history. When I first watched this movie, I was shocked and found it highly obscene. However, watching the director's interview made me realize that what we consider obscene today might not be regarded obscene tomorrow. The meaning of obscenity changes and is influenced by social, political and economic circumstances. I consider this movie thought-provoking and challenging. It made me re-think what constitutes male and female sexuality and the complexity of the politics of gender. The part I found particularly shocking is the scene with menstrual blood. Why should women be ashamed of their fertile blood? Why is menstrual blood considered impure? Why do we find a sight of menstrual blood in a movie upsetting and obscene when we all know that it's perfectly natural and constitutes female anatomy? Menstruation should be celebrated as a sign of a healthy female body that is capable of conceving and giving life - not regarded as filthy, dirty and messy. Instead of classifying this movie as "sick" and "perverted" - I see it as highly imaginative, philosophical and very challenging.

5.0 out of 5 starsUnjustly Overlooked - Provoking - Beautiful
By Alex Beere on 1 Aug. 2008
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This movie is a sexual holocaust, but I'm still a believer that such rites of dehumanization do have a place in modern cinema. Someone had to do it, and the fact that it is directed by a woman gives her free license to obliterate the preconceptions of femininity and its plethora of powers and weaknesses. It paints a stark picture of the behavioral patterns which we're forced to adhere to in our day-to-day lives and attacks them in a very blunt fashion. I love it. It's confronting and unrelenting.

The French have always known how to gut their audience, and this movie is something I look upon as a challenge. Initially I was set on edge, and its unrelenting subject matter and subsequent exploration of the anatomical mechanisms of sexuality is something which I found to challenge my previous views in many ways.

Amira Caser is immaculate in her role, her simple facial expressions portray the complexities of the vulnerable state she allows herself to be placed in throughout the most confronting scenes, with simple and subtle gestures of fear and excitement showing glimpses for all those who choose to absorb this film fully.

Perhaps the fact that this movie stars prominent porn actor Rocco could taint its subject to the general audience, but the role he fills demands than he be comfortable and confident in his expression of explicit sexual materials and for this reason I believe he is perfectly suited for the part, and really not a bad actor at the end of the day.

My conclusion is that this film is more challenging and abrasive than any horror you've yet seen, and it takes a stronger being who is prepared to explore this topic brutally, without having it painted in a soft light, and for its honesty I must give it full credit.

5.0 out of 5 starsStar 1 * Star 2 * Star 3 * Star 4 * Star 5 *
By Mist on 25 Jan. 2006
Format: DVD
I think that it is unwise to see the film if overly prejudiced by the suppositions and interpretations of others, especially when their attention only focuses on one aspect of the film i.e. the explicit shots or the menstrual blood scene. The movie is not simply about the visuals. This film is as much about words and ideology as the imagery is about fragility, beauty and censorship. The script is powerful and confronting and the dialogue is beautifully supported by the equally powerful visual aspects.
We become voyeurs on an exploration of myth, ideology, sexuality, and identity, going through as much of a revelation as the male lead does when personal ideology impacts with truth.
Breillat is hard hitting, and we feel the punches that she does not bother to pull. And why should she?
The audience becomes drawn into a complex world where the dialogue not only exists between the characters, but between the director and the audience, and in the final unreal sequence we realise that the message is already within us, whether transplanted or not.
Breillat ultimately reveals strengths to be weakness and weakness to be strength. Or is that merely prejudice?

2.0 out of 5 starsShocking for the sake of it...
By H. R. Trigg on 15 April 2005
Format: DVD
WARNING, anyone easily shocked should not watch this film. It is one of the most explicit films I have ever seen outside of pornography! According to the packaging, this film explores 'what men really think about women, and what women really think about themselves'. Absolute rubbish, I'm sorry. If men hate women this much, then all would be homosexual, and if women think of themselves in such a way then they would all have committed suicide a long time ago. The director must have such a distaste for the female form, and must have had some terrible experiences with men if this is her view of life. Essentially, the film is about a woman who pays a homosexual man to 'explore' her body - intimately. And its more intimate than you could ever imagine. I have never seen such things done with a pitchfork or a stone, and frankly, never need to again! And one scene gives a whole new meaning to the drink 'Bloody Mary'. The adult scenes, whilst explicit, are by no means erotic and at times very vulgar and pointless. Its vaguely interesting, thankfully the film is ony 80 mins long.
I am not easily shocked by any stretch of the imagination, and do not agree with censorship, but this film in my opinion was made to shock. Know one but psychopaths would feel this way about a woman.
