商品描述

A long-form dialogue--on cinema and survival--with the visionary French filmmaker.

The virtuous always engage in a pseudoreligious morality. But there's one thing they never say: the desire for pleasure is thought in motion. It's what makes you transfigure a dull and repetitive sexual act into something that can bring you to ecstasy and an idea of eternity ...
--Catherine Breillat to Murielle Joudet

Catherine Breillat has always told just one story: her own, the story of a young girl whose existence was forbidden, who was, from childhood, cut in half, split between her mind and her sexuality, marked by the shame of being born female. She became a filmmaker at a time when choosing that vocation meant disobeying the world.

During six months between September 2022 and March 2023, the film critic Murielle Joudet interviewed Catherine Breillat for thirty hours, often following up with further discussion over the phone. Joudet and Breillat discuss each of her films in chronological order, moving freely between Breillat's cinematic vision, her life, and the situations, artworks, and thought that have inspired her films.

From A Real Young Girl (1975) to Last Summer (2023), Breillat has made films in an attempt to recover what she believes was stolen from her-- the "unfilmable," inexhaustible grey area of the feminine where shame, transgression, sensuality, disgust, and the search for oneself intertwine until they become indistinguishable. Her work proposes a haunting imperative to know oneself ... and for her heroines, this spiritual search plays out as an open war with the opposite sex.

A conversation with Catherine Breillat is as much a cinema master class as it is a lesson in survival.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

與這位富有遠見的法國電影製作人的長篇對話——關於電影與生存。

美德者總是參與一種偽宗教的道德觀。但有一件事他們從不提及:對快樂的渴望是思想在運動。這使你能將一個乏味且重複的性行為轉化為能帶你達到狂喜和永恆概念的事物……
--Catherine Breillat 對 Murielle Joudet 說

Catherine Breillat 一直在講述一個故事:她自己的故事,一個年輕女孩的故事,她的存在是被禁止的,從小就被割裂,心智與性別之間的矛盾,因為出生為女性而感到羞恥。她在一個選擇這個職業意味著違抗世界的時代成為了一名電影製作人。

在2022年9月至2023年3月的六個月中,影評人 Murielle Joudet 對 Catherine Breillat 進行了三十小時的訪談,並經常通過電話進行後續討論。Joudet 和 Breillat 按照時間順序討論她的每一部電影,自由地穿梭於 Breillat 的電影視野、她的生活,以及啟發她電影的情境、藝術作品和思想之間。

A Real Young Girl (1975) 到 Last Summer (2023),Breillat 創作電影試圖恢復她認為被奪走的東西——那個「無法拍攝的」、無窮無盡的女性灰色地帶,在那裡羞恥、越界、感性、厭惡和自我探索交織在一起,直到變得無法區分。她的作品提出了一個令人難忘的命令,要求認識自己……而對於她的女主角們來說,這種精神探索表現為與異性之間的公開戰爭。

與 Catherine Breillat 的對話既是一堂電影大師課,也是一堂生存課。
