Nude Celebs: Amira Casar - French director Catherine Breillat, who brought us the very good if controversial and unpleasant films Romance and Fat Girl, has done it again with this 2004 drama. Once again, a social statement is accompanied by explicit graphic sex and some jarring images.
This film is about woman's sexual powers over men, and man's fear of them. After he interrupts her rather feeble attempt at suicide, a woman pays a gay man to watch her most intimate activities for four days. Initially, he is truly disgusted by what he must watch, but eventually a relationship develops.
This is a very "talky" film, loaded with nudity and sex, which explores some very intangible subjects. The movie is at times almost surreal, and the woman's motivations are not really obvious.
Some will get this film. Others won't. Not particularly uplifting, but interesting and different nevertheless.
