He's asleep right now.

He doesn't mind sleeping.

However, he's got to get up

early in the morning.

Tomorrow at noon, he has an

appointment in Deauville. Business.

And you? Do you have a girlfriend?

She died... in a car crash.

I haven't had sex in 4 months.

(Yeah, right Rocco!;) Liar!)

Maybe you men are all like that.

My husband is very nice,

but he's just as indifferent.

I like foreplay the most.

It's so delightful.

I simply have to give in then.

It amazes me every time.

And I watch myself doing it,

as if it wasn't me.

Frankly speaking, I could die of lust,

at the sheer thought of

this indescribable miracle,

happening again:

Being loved be a complete stranger.

It's a very childlike craving.

A pure craving.

Give me a blow-job.

No, not now.

This evening or maybe tomorrow.

Will you give me your number?

Don't you want to?

- Give head? Not really.

It not my specialty.

I don't like to start of

with a blow-job.

I prefer to give head, to start again,

if you know what I mean...

Going to the hotel... yes,

that's what I yearn for.

But I have to leave,

immediately.

Don't you want to go to a hotel?

- I do, but I work.

Besides, I have to take back the car.

It's not mine, you know.

Will you call me?

Sorry, for being late.

It's okay.

I already checked the attendance.

Okay...

Take out your grammar-notebooks

and write down todays date.

Well...

Last week we learned the

present indicative of the verb "be".

I am, you are, he is,

we are, you are, they are.

Today we'll continue with "have".

"Having" is completely different

from "being".

One can be, without having...

And one can have, without being.

What can I do to have him?

Completely have him.

I wish,

you'd become pregnant.

Slim chance.

Why? There's no real reason why.

Exactly. Do you think the holy ghost,

will do it?

There hasn't been an opportunity,

ever since I stopped taking the pill.

I know you hate the details,

but there are certain points in time.

You hardly ever do it, and when you do it,

you're not willing to do your best,

...that way it'll never work.

And that's what gets me down.

Yes, but that's not the same.

If you told me, "Do your

job now!", I'd do it.

Is that true?

This would change everything.

If we had a child, we'd at least

have a reason to stay together.

Only because you have no confidence.

But it will return.

Like the myth of Circe...

One wants to know, what was before,

and what comes after...

You can't even let

the present unfold...

You force it.

Because you have no confidence,

everything comes to nothing.

What, if I went away?

And wouldn't call...

let's say two weeks or a month?

Or even six?

Catherine Breillat

Catherine Breillat (French; born 13 July 1948) is a French filmmaker, novelist and professor of auteur cinema at the European Graduate School. In the film business for over 40 years, Catherine Breillat chooses to normalize previously taboo subjects in cinema. Taking advantage of the medium of cinema, Breillat juxtaposes different perspectives to highlight irony found in society. Through film, she attempts to redefine the female narrative in cinema by showing female characters who undergo similar experiences as their male counterparts. Many of Breillat's films explore the transition between girlhood and adulthood. The females of her films attempt to escape their adolescence by seeking individuality. There is an unsaid silence in society for girls to hide their sexuality and desires unless directly confronted about them. Breillat offers a platform to discuss female pleasure and sexual responsibility by exposing social and sexual conflicts in her films' themes. more…
