Breillat goes over the edge

In her latest film Catherine Breillat takes a brave step. She couples porn actor Siffredi with talented youngster Amira Casar in a controversial story about the fear of the women in her most pure form. The idea concept is fascinating, but the result obnoxious. The dialogue between the leading actors is meant to be intellectual but by trying to hard it just gets on your nerves. I never got interested in the problems that Siffredi and Casar obviously trouble and after an hour I didn't even care anymore. At it's worldpremiere at the filmfestival of Rotterdam Breillat asked the audience to vote between the highest and the absolute lowest on our ballots. I had no trouble doing this at all.
