Life and career
Breillat was born in Bressuire, Deux-Sèvres, but he grew up in Niort. After watching Ingmar Bergman's Gycklarnas afton's Anna, she realized she had found her "fictional body" in Harriet Andersson's story, she decided to become a writer and director at the age of twelve.
She began working in Paris after learning acting on Yves Furet's "Studio d'Entraînement de l'Acteur" with her sister, actress Marie-Hélène Breillat (born 2 June 1947) in 1967. l'Homme facile (A Man for the Asking) was released by the age of 17. The French government has forbidden it from being used by readers under the age of 18. The book's director went bankrupt and Artis prevented the film from being released for twenty years, despite being given an R rating.
Breillat is known for films focusing on sexuality, intimacy, gender conflict, and sibling rivalry. Breillat has been chastised for her explicit representations of sexuality and violence. In her films Romance (Romance X, 1999) and Anatomie de l'enfer (Anatomy of Hell, 2004), she played the porn actress Rocco Siffredi. Her books have been best-sellers.
Her work has been attributed to the cinéma du corps/cinema of the body genre. In an interview with Senses of Cinema, she compared David Cronenberg as another filmmaker she likes to have a similar approach to sexuality in film.
Despite the fact that Breillat spends the majority of her time behind the camera, she has appeared in a handful of films. Mouchette, a costume designer, and her sister Marie-Hélène Breillat made their film debut in Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris (1972) as Mouchette, a dressmaker.
Breillat suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in 2004, resulting in a stroke that paralyzed her left side. After five months of hospitalization and a slow recovery, she returned to work, creating Une vieille maîtresse (The Last Mistress) in 2007. This film was one of three French films officially selected for the Cannes Film Festival of the year.
Breillat met Christophe Rocancourt, a notorious conman, and gave him a leading role in a film that she was planning to make in 2007, based on her own book Bad Love and starring Naomi Campbell. He was given €25,000 to write La vie amoureuse de Christophe Rocancourt (The Love Life of Christophe Rocancourt), and over the next year and a half, he borrowed additional €678,000. Breillat's book in 2009, in which she argued that Rocancourt had profited from her reduced mental endurance while recovering from her stroke, was published. Abus de faiblesse is a French legal term that is often translated as "abuse of vulnerability" in the book. Rocancourt was found guilty of abus de faiblesse in 2012 for taking Breillat's money and sentencing to prison.
La belle endormie (Sleeping Beauty), Breillat's second fairy tale based film, premiered in the Orizzonti sidebar at the 67th Venice Film Festival in September 2010.
Even though Breillat had moved to other projects in 2011, she had still wanted to film Bad Love but wasn't yet be able to find funds to do so. However, a film version of her book Abus de faiblesse, directed by Breillat and starring Isabelle Huppert, was released in 2012 and was on display at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival.
"Breillat remains committed to the long run," it has been said, especially during scenes of sexual discussions, a strategy that displays her performers' virtuosity while also emphasizing the cultural and philosophical aspects of sex. For example, key sex scenes in both Fat Girl and Romance feature scenes that last more than seven minutes.
Breillat made controversial remarks about Asia Argento, who appeared on 2007's The Last Mistress, on Sunday, calling Argento a "traitor" for accusing Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment.
