Directed by Catherine Breillat • 1979 • France
Starring Dominique Laffin, Bertrand Bonvoisin, Joe Dallesandro
Catherine Breillat’s stylistically raw, intellectually daring second feature contains shades of autobiography as it centers on a filmmaker named Solange (Dominique Laffin) whose search for passion leads her into a series of affairs, including a tryst with a bisexual actor (played by Warhol superstar Joe Dallesandro). When she begins an intense relationship with another director (Bertrand Bonvoisin), the pair embark on an unusual carnal journey as they compulsively attempt to recreate the experience of their first sexual encounter.
