Description de l'ouvrage:
In The Cinema of Catherine Breillat, Bélot offers a detailed analysis of Breillats films by looking at the representation of women as sexual beings. These womens search of identity echoes that of Breillats in establishing a personal or intimate cinema.

À propos de l'auteur :
Sophie Bélot, Ph.D. (2002), University of Sheffield, is a programme director at the same university. She has published on representations of women in Francophone cinema as well as on film forms (documentary, essay film, adaptations). She is currently working on emotion in cinema.

Revue de Presse:
"This is a sharp, engaging volume, offering a complex feminist introduction to the films of this uncompromising cineaste." - G. A. Foster, Choice, 55.6, February 2018.

"Sophie Be'lot's book is to be welcomed as another passionate engagement with Breillat, more in line with some of the best, partisan, French work, by Claire Clouzot and others. These French studies come in close to the director's auteur persona, responding to and defending Breillat's seductive, yet contestatory, ethos and visual style. [...] a lovely book that presents a vivid, engaged apprehension of its subject." - Emma Wilson, French Studies, 73.1, January 2019.
