Well….as far as subject matter does…Fat Girl was NOTHING compared to come other French films. Ma Mere, The Piano Teacher, I Stand Alone are all examples of masterpieces that push the content envelope.
What about it made you want to throw up?
Was it the scene at the end that bothered you, or the graphic sex?
I think overall it is a very interesting film, and a very honest (in terms of sexuality) coming of age film. I enjoy that director’s films, but if this one bothered that that much…be careful before watching her others.
I love her. She is the best! I own so many of her films, but I wish Criterion should release some of her rare films. I’m sure they would sell well, and Huppert is amazing.
What do you fellow film lovers think? And what films with her would you like to see Criterion finally bring to DVD?

I’ve often toyed with the idea of writing them a letter desperately requesting them to release some of her films. What do you think?
Her films to recommend?
La Vie Promise, La Ceromine, La Seperation, and Merci pour la chocolate. None of those are on Criterion, but all ae worth seeing. La Vie Rpomise was the first film that made me want to write and make films. You can see parts of it on youtube.
I disagree. She has always chosen her films based on the director. She has done American films before, and she has done comedies before. She has mentioned philosophy in interviews before. When asked if she could be one other person, she said that she wanted to be Simone de Beauvoir. That tells you a great deal about her!
Doing the film furthers the fact that she is extremely intellectual with her own views and perceptions on things. The philosophy of art and film go hand in hand with various philosophies on life.
I don’t think it dampens her reputation at all. I think it proves that she (as always) is willing at take a risk on a complicated script that she likes.
Another Woman
Long Day’s Journey Into Night
Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Suddenly, Last Summer
Eyes Wide Shut
The Tempest (Derek Jarman)
