Films created by Catherine Breillat sometimes teeter on the verge of unacceptable. This French writer, director, actress and production artist explores in her works (literary and cinematic) different manifestations of sexuality, gender relationships and violence. Catherine demonstrates these aspects of human life with such frankness and outrage that some of her works almost got labeled “pornography” and could become banned.
Another aspect of Catherine Breia’s work is teaching. As a professor of "author's film" she leads summer seminars at the European Graduate School (Switzerland).
Catherine was born on July 13, 1948. Her acting career began with an episode of The Last Tango in Paris. She made her first film in 1976, The Real Girl. Since then, Catherine herself writes scripts for all her paintings. They do not cause aesthetic pleasure, they are shocking, but this is the effect that Bray achieves.
In one of her interviews, Catherine admitted that she strives to bring the viewer to such a level of emotions that he could not cope with himself. She managed it in the picture “Fat girl”, full of ordinary and creepy things. Becoming a job and
"Intimate scenes" - a film that embodies Catherine's idea of a person's dislike of himself.
In many countries, the erotic (on the verge of porn) film by Catherine Breia “Romans” was almost banned, in which the Italian porn actor Rocco Siffredi played. The director seems to turn inside out the usual ideas of ordinary people about life, and the audience of her films after watching to some extent can no longer be the same.
Catherine Breia adheres to feminist views, but believes that this should not be reflected in her works: in her opinion, you can not use art to promote your views. /
