ANATOMIE DE L'ENFER
France, Portugal | 2004 | Catherine Breillat

Based on her 2001 novel Pornocratie, Anatomy of Hell is perhaps Breillat’s most controversial film, “a singularly daring meditation on the pleasures and horrors of the flesh.” (Janus) Reminiscent of both Sade and Brecht, the transgressive, sexually explicit film stars Amira Casar as “the woman” who pays a gay man - played by porn star Rocco Siffredi - to join her for a four-day exploration of sexuality, breaking all bounds and conventions. Having heavily polarized critics when released, the movie holds its allure for cinephiles as a deeply courageous experimentation that delves into the disturbing realm of the erotic between two sexes. Adults only. Subtitles. 77 min.
