Right, thanks a lot, Barbican, for waiting until I leave the country to bring the director
Catherine Breillat over to
give a talk on 24th Oct. They're showing Romance, her best-known but least awesome film. I prefer Anatomy of Hell, which features the ultra-hot and well-endowded porn star
Rocco Siffredi, and some sexy hairy-armpitted French chick, in a house on a clifftop ruminating in ultra-French fashion about sex and desire and bodies and revulsion and the position of women and so on an so forth and all of that. Funfunfun! He's a fag, too, which is why she procures him for the task of 'looking at her where she can't be seen'. It's aces, and features an excellent tampon-dunking / menstrual blood drinking scene that made several men leave the cinema in disgust when I saw the film at the Riverside a few years ago. HAH. Anyway, Romance isn't quite up there with that but it's still pretty interesting, particularly if you're into a bit of slap with your tickle - and who isn't?
