Top review. Moviezone Award Jury rapport - Fat Girl Catherine Breillat The winning film amongst three fantastic films has got to be a very special feature. Catherine Breillat showed the jury the world of two sisters which do not only differ in the physical aspect of their characters but also have their own very distinctive expectations and desires when it comes to their first time having sex.
The bond between the sisters is portrayed very well, the girls and the life they live are very recognizable. When you are watching the film you forget you are watching actresses when they flawlessly get across very strong and personal emotions in a very subtle manner. The observations of the fat girl show precisely how she encounters her sisterhood; her negative self-image and the absurd fascination for her sister. The strong hand of the director and the personal theme makes Fat Girl a film which will be remembered for a long time and which will be the subject of many discussions.

Did you know Edit. Trivia Most of the actors that appear in the movie are villagers without acting experience, from the same region were the actual events happened, except from the judges and doctors; the director did this in order to preserve that idea on how the villagers didn't have any education and were isolated from the society back then.
Connections Featured in Back to Normandy User reviews 3 Review. Top review. In cold blood. It's a true story which happened in the rural Normandie in the nineteenth century but anyway ,those peasants ,anyone who has read Maupassant's short stories or Zola's "La Terre" already knew them. In the meanwhile,he writes a manuscript where he tells the whole story. Witnesses appear too and tell the story as they've seen it. Allio's treatment is anything but derivative.
Sometimes Bressonesque his major influence with his use of non-professionals actors for his peasants ,and their neuter voices ,with something borrowed from Truffaut's "L'Enfant Sauvage" -screenplay entirely based on historical documents-. Pierre is a complex character,whose behavior thoroughly eludes the viewer.
He sees his father,a crude uneducated meek man humiliated and harassed by a shrew of a mother,who always lets him down after she's taken everything she can steal. Probably under an over-possessive mother's thumb,this woman does not want to share her husband's home. He even uses the subjunctive imperfect,a tense only an educated person can know.
Pierre is an enigma to the world:how a boy who was nurtured in such a demeaning milieu can he be able to write like this? He bought a book ,some kind of mini-encyclopedia where he found subjects Napoleon,Indians which fueled his misogyny.
Is he a lunatic? Certainly not in the way the doctor thinks he is during the trial. The fact Pierre refers to Abraham and the "God told me to do that" thing are not surprising,coming from a country boy,at a time when religion verged on superstition.
I think that Pierre cannot stand his father's passiveness. He needs an outlet: crucifying a frog or squashing a bird between two stones are first attempts at a murder. Hate ,anger and frustration are in him and won't live him alone. One day animals are not enough:the saucy song which we can hear twice sung by the neighbor about his dad ,it's this which sparks off the incident or should I say the tragedy. They are three dead bodies in the kitchen,lying in a pool of their blood.
A boy is running across the country thinking "what have I done? He still do not know whether he'll be sentenced to death when he's arrested,but he knows that he is dead anyway. This is a slow moving movie,not exactly an accessible one;but it's a demanding one,and one that will reward you if you give it a chance. Details Edit.
