Sex Is Comedy (2002)
Country: FR
Technical: col 95m
Director: Catherine Breillat
Cast: Anne Parillaud, Grégoire Colin, Roxane Mesquida, Ashley Wanninger
Synopsis:
A woman director is beset by the conflict between her artistic aims and the mundane limitations of her actors while filming the love scenes in her latest film.
Review:
Breillat at work on A ma soeur is, basically, the subject matter of this eye-opening film; Parillaud provides a luminous, bewitching performance of the director who has made the effect of sex on women the stock in trade of her cinema. Colin is the pretentious but shallow lead but it is Mesquida, who reprises her 'role' from the earlier film, who provides the film's epiphany when, her woodenness battered into vulnerability by the director's concentrated assault, she breaks down on set and fiction and reality briefly meet.
