Sex Is Comedy
Faking it has never been like this.
Directed by Catherine Breillat
Produced by CB Films, France 2
A witty, behind-the-scenes comedy about filmmaking that uses the absurdity of staging intimacy to explore creative vision, professional friction, and the gap between performance and reality.
A director struggles with a difficult sex scene between a young actor and actress who can't stand one another. Aided by her loyal assistant, she is hell-bent on getting the scene right without compromise.
