Sex is Comedy
France, 2002
Film director Jeanne, an uncompromising perfectionist, is struggling to direct a convincing sex scene between two actors who can scarcely hide their disgust of one another. How is she to conjure passion? And why is this scene so crucial?
The idea for Sex is Comedy was born on the set of Breillat's previous film For my sister. Laden with force and brutal self-directed humor, this brilliant and reflexive film deals with sex – the ultimate arena in which to reenact the perpetual battle of the sexes, and the balances of power and passion within the confines of the film set.
