Mubi's retrospective, Catherine Breillat, Auteur of Porn?, is showing April 4 - June 3, 2017 in Germany.Sex Is ComedyThroughout her career, Catherine Breillat has provided viewers with a long-form meta-cinema experience.

All three directors provoke controversy through their work and the open depiction of sexuality, whether due to the graphic nature of the sexuality,...
