Review of Sex Is Comedy (2002) by David A — 09 Nov 2007

Indulgent fantasy of 'the creative process' and how the director makes everybody's lives better through the creation of her art.

Whether or not it's true, I can't help but imagine that this is a portrait of how Breillat works - after all, the sex scene they're filming is identical to the one in Fat Girl, down to the same actress. If Breillat's method is to immerse herself into the drama between the actors and be the big mother who grants the world catharsis...she strikes me as little more than an existential exhibitionist.
