Last Summer (2024)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 3 cats
Director: Catherine Breillat
Starring: Clotilde Courau | Léa Drucker | Olivier Rabourdin | Samuel Kircher | Serena Hu

Last Summer

Brett says: “Many know director Catherine Breillat for being provocative in both subject matter and delivery, and LAST SUMMER is her latest in a library of films that generates discussion well after the end credits roll. Anne is a lawyer

Abuse of Weakness (2014)

By Michael Colford
Rating: 4 cats
Director: Catherine Breillat
Starring: Christophe Sermet | Fred Lebelge | Isabelle Huppert | Kool Shen | Laurence Ursino | Ronald Leclerq

Abuse of Weakness

Michael says: “The latest from Catherine Breillat is once again a fascinating fictional version of Breillat’s actual life. As in SEX IS COMEDY, where Breillat recreated the filming of a particular scene from FAT GIRL, ABUSE OF WEAKNESS stars Isabelle

Bluebeard (2010)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 2.5 cats
Director: Catherine Breillat
Starring: Daphné Baiwir | Dominique Thomas | Lola Créton | Lola Giovannetti | Marilou Lopes-Benites

Bluebeard

Jason says: “I don’t think there have been any musical animated adaptations of Bluebeard, and the reason why is pretty obvious:  Once you remove the sex and violence to make it family-friendly, there isn’t much left at all.  Surprisingly, given

The Last Mistress (2008)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 3.5 cats
Director: Catherine Breillat
Starring: Asia Argento | Claude Sarraute | Fu’ad Ait Aattou | Michael Lonsdale | Roxane Mesquida | Yolande Moreau

The Last Mistress

Michael says: “A new Catherine Breillat film is always something that sparks my interest, and in her latest film, the first after the director endured a serious stroke, Breillat tries her hand at a period piece… a true costume drama

Sex is Comedy (2004)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 3.6
Director: Catherine Breillat
Starring: Anne Parillaud | Ashley Wanninger | Bart Binnema | Dominique Colladant | Grégoire Colin | Roxane Mesquida

Sex is Comedy

Michael says: “As a follow-up to the controversial FAT GIRL, Breillat serves up something highly original and self-reflexive. At the core of FAT GIRL’s controversy is a 12 – 20 minutes (depending on how you measure it) seduction/sex scene involving

Anatomy of Hell (2004)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 3.25
Director: Catherine Breillat
Starring: Amira Casar | Rocco Siffredi

Anatomy of Hell

Bruce says: “It is hard to say whether Catherine Breillat knows what she is doing or not. Her message is, I think, both blatant and encrypted. For a while I thought I was watching a feminist hate poem. Slowly my

Fat Girl (2001)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 3.8 cats
Director: Catherine Breillat
Starring: Anaïs Reboux | Arsinée Khanjian | Roxane Mesquida

Fat Girl

Laura says: “Breillat succeeds in presenting a complex relationship between the two sisters, a love/hate relationship at an age when parents are naturally distanced. While Elena’s taunts are cutting, her character nonetheless remains sympathetic as she chooses to ignore Fernando’s
