Tartan release French director Catherine Breillat's controversial exploration of desire in 'Anatomy of Hell'.
A gorgeous woman walks into a gay bar and starts slashing her wrists in the toilet. There she picks up a hunky guy and takes him home. Over four days they explore a sexual relationship, pushing boundaries to extremes of physical pleasure. The film stars ex-model Amira Cesar and international porn star Rocco Siffredi (Romance ) in this explicit tale of dark desire that takes us beyond Last Tango In Paris, 9 1/2 Weeks , and Ai No Corrida .
Adapting her own novel for the screen, Catherine Breillat (Romance, A Ma Soeur ! ) explores - sexual mores, echoing social taboos explored in Baise Moi and Irreversible. Disturbing and compelling, Anatomy of Hell is a startling hardcore reminder of Breillat's international stature as the commentator of our darker psyche. Forget Nine Songs , this pushes the boundaries of censorship to the borders of de Sade. You might never use the garden rake in the same way again !
DVD extras include interview with Catherine Breillat.
An anamorphic widescreen presentation, DTS Dolby Digital, DTS Dolby Surround 5.1
Anatomy of Hell is released on DVD (region 0, rrp £19.99) on 21st March 2005.
