Anatomy of Hell gives a feminist twist to a French literary tradition that goes back to the Marquis de Sade. It's also svelte, assured filmmaking.
If you're feeling open-minded and a little adventurous, this chilling exploration of the gender gap from Gallic bad-girl Catherine Breillat is worth a look.
The award for hardest-to-watch movie of the year.
There are scenes here where Breillat deliberately disgusts us, not because we are disgusted by the natural life functions of women, as she implies, but simply because The Woman does things that would make any reasonable Man, or Woman, for that matter, throw up.
Ranks high on the squirm meter. But, unlike in most of her earlier work, there's no emotional payoff.
Despite its copious nudity, it is less likely to incite lust among its viewers than a strong desire for a long hot shower.
Anatomy of Hell offers one of the most hateful and mechanical representations of sexuality I've ever seen.
