Catherine Brey - a famous scandalous film director, screenwriter and writer. She is recognized by the world cinema community as a lover of non-standard approaches to erotic cinema. Many consider a brave Frenchwoman a desperate feminist.

Professor of the author's cinema

Catherine Breuil, in her literary opuses and film projects, explores issues of gender relations, sexuality and violence, revealing them so shockingly and openly that some of her film works almost got a mark of "pornography", and at the time of going into the rental were on the verge of a ban. Together with this, Catherine, being a professor of author's cinema in the European Higher School located in Switzerland, conducts summer seminars.

The beginning of a creative career

Before the director's career, Catherine played an episodic role in the film Bernardo Bertolucci - the existential drama "The Last Tango in Paris". Kathryn Brey's debut as a director took place in 1976, when she directed her first film project "The Real Girl" (in other sources - "The True Girl"). After the release of the film in the rental of film critics noted a number of advantages of Brey's work, among which were: a wonderful musical accompaniment, minimalism. Despite the eroticism, the film was still recognized as a drama exploiting the language of "cinema before 18". The film received a rating of IMDb 5.50 film critics.

Catherine Brey, whose filmography, according to expert estimates of filmmakers, is an uncompromising and violent pro-feminist shocking, personally wrote all the scripts for her film work. In addition, the writer was a member of the creative group of screenwriters in the movie Fellini "And the ship sails ...".

Shockingly and frankly

Directed by Catherine Braya removes not the most attractive films for idle viewing, but you can not forget them after reading. Her project "Romance" starring with pornoakterom Rocco Siffredi nearly banned in France. The film "To My Sister!" (In the Russian box office "Fat Girl") because of everyday events, from this and terrible events, film critics are called one of the most shocking pictures of recent years. In the Russian box office, the film never hit the big screen, but after a series of closed screenings, the hands quivered for a while from the cinema. Such a purely physiological reaction frankly pleased the producer, since, according to her confession, this was the task of the director. Catherine rejoiced, because she managed to bring those emotions that were watching to such an intensity that they could not practically control themselves. According to Bray, the movie has a very modest budget, so she did not have the opportunity to saturate the story with special effects. Then the director did everything, using the old proven methods, in fact by means of silent cinema.

No less interesting romantic film "36 size", sustained in warm pastel colors. It's about 14-year-old young Lily, who, after going on vacation, plans to experience the first sexual experience. The new French Lolita decides to seduce the forty-year-old Maurice, a computer equipment dealer. However, at the most crucial moment, the heroine begins to suffer doubts. This film Catherine Braya is a rather powerful, but in French, elegant melodrama about the power of women over men.

A supporter of philosophical discussions
