Catherine Breillat

Catherine Breillat (born July 13, 1948) is a French filmmaker and novelist. She is known for her films focusing on themes of sexuality, gender conflict and sibling rivalry, as well as for her best-selling novels. Breillat has been the subject of controversy for her explicit depictions of sexuality and violence. She cast the pornstar Rocco Siffredi in her films Romance (Romance X, 1999) and Anatomie de l'enfer (Anatomy of Hell, 2003).

In an interview with Senses of Cinema, she described David Cronenberg as another filmmaker she considers to have a similar approach to sexuality in film.

Her work has been associated with the New French Extremity tendency.
