A new HD restoration of Catherine Breillat’s landmark film Romance, which placed her as an audacious, boundary-pushing female auteur, establishing her as a provocateur who opened the doors to women directors taking charge of their own sexual ideals and imagery. This is the tale of a beautiful woman’s frustration with the lack of intimacy in her relationship, who seeks out sexual adventures in order to spark the interest of her lover, a self-absorbed male model.

Lucie Borleteau‘s modern fairy tale, My Sole Desire, opens with PhD student Manon fearlessly striding into a strip club to audition for a job… and in search of a gateway into her own desire. What she unexpectedly happens upon is a sisterhood of friends and lovers, strippers who have taken charge of their own destinies and created their own kind of sexual and personal freedom. Manon also discovers something she hadn’t counted on — a profound, uncontrollable love. To boot, the film’s no-holds-barred performances (often in the buff) by Louise Chevillotte and Zita Hanrot, are as fierce and audacious as they are carnal, and certainly cannot go without mention.
