Aro Recommended A Ma Soeur!

 

aka: For My Sister, aka Fat Girl
France 2001, 93 minutes
Dir. Catherine Breillat
In French with English subtitles
Rating: [R18]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama / Girl-centric, Sex

Topics: Rites-of-passage.

 

Aroview: An artfully impassive study of sexual predation that takes place during the summer holidays of two teenage sisters – the dumpy Anais Reboux and sultry Roxane Mesquida – with a shifting, troublesome sense of sibling rivalry.

The (not unwanted) attentions of a rich Italian student (Libero De Rienzo) lead into hair-raising scenes of coercion/seduction as he attempts to bed the underage Anais, thus fulfilling dir. Breillat’s (ROMANCE) provocative views on sexual politics. Nothing however will prepare you for one of most unexpected shock-endings of recent years.
