THE EXTERMINATING ANGELS (2006)

JEAN CLAUDE BRISSEAU

Plot

Director François is fascinated by the link between taboo and female pleasure. Intent on making a film about the subject, he auditions a series of actresses, who enact their deepest, forbidden desires. Watched over by two fallen angels, François immersion into the world of his actresses fantasies threatens to destroy him. Brisseau's sexually charged film, whose philosophical inquiry into pleasures of the flesh is often leavened by the director's sly humour, is a provocative and intense experience.
