Anatomy of Hell (DVD) Tartan

French director Catherine Breillat directs this avante-garde drama based on her own novel ‘Pornocatie’. A woman (Amira Casar) goes into the toilets of a gay nightclub and attempts suicide by cutting her wrists. She is rescued from her fate by a gay man (Rocco Siffredi) who takes her to a pharmacy and sees that she is bandaged up. When he takes the woman back to her apartment, she makes an offer to the man: if he will watch her, simply watch her, for four nights, she will pay him for the task. As if to prove her belief that men – and especially gay men – hate and fear women, she sets out to disgust him with her body and her sexuality.
