ANATOMY OF HELL (2004)

CATHERINE BREILLAT

Plot

Continuing Catherine Breillat's exploration of gender politics and sexual mores, Anatomy of Hell takes a frank and unapologetic look at the desire/repulsion paradox of man's attitude to female genitalia and sexuality. In the toilets of a gay club a woman attempts to cut her wrists, a man enters, intervenes and finds himself on a four-day voyage of exploration of the female anatomy. As with Breillat's previous work expect graphic imagery and plenty of philosophising.
