| Sex Is Comedy |
Breillat's semi-fictionalised film about making a film is reputedly based on her own experience in coaxing performances out of a young cast in her 2001 feature
À ma soeur! Anne Parillaud (bearing a strong physical resemblance to Breillat) stars as Jeanne; a confident and capricious director infamous for her sexually graphic films, struggling to capture a difficult, intimate sex scene between two actors (Roxane Mesquida and Grégoire Colin) who happen to dislike each other intensely.
Examining the difficult, shifting relationship between director, actor and actress, the adeptly staged and definitely ironic
Sex Is Comedy grapples with the nature of sex and power, as creative and carnal forces clash.
