The Liberated Pandora

Caitlyn Brea's debut.It tells how a 14-year-old girl boldly explores her sexual desire. The whole film is full of male and female organs. In the conservative 1970s, Le Figaro was criticized as "the public display and defilement of physical intimacy, which makes women shame" and calls for banning performance. Therefore, it was frozen in France for 24 years and was not released publicly until 2000. This film, which is narrative in the first person, is quite unique, expresses the scenes with a direct and unpretentious attitude, faces the problems of sexuality, and is full of free, avant-garde and experimental film style. About the director: Caitlyn Breya, born in France in 1949, doubles asShe described herself as a "Pilgrim", but it was hard to associate with her works.She wrote her first novel "The Easy People" at the age of 19, which was listed as a restricted novel under the age of 18 when she was published in 1968;the first movie she participated in the performance at the age of 23 was the classic erotic film "The Last Tango of Paris" by famous Italian director Bettorucci; at the age of 25, she made her fourth novel "The Venetian" into her first movie "Love Liberation", because the content describes how a 14-year-old girl boldly explores her sexual desire, and is full of male and female organs.In the conservative 1970s, Le Figaro, the well-known French "Le Figaro" criticized as "public display, defilement and insulting the body and intimacy, which shame women", and called for banning performances.Therefore, it was frozen in France for 24 years and was not released publicly until this year. She repeatedly challenged the moral standards of France (even the world) with her works.Some criticized her as "the reality of fake art", and some praised the heroine in her works for "breaking into the strange field of sex, just like the director herself disobeying the traditional boundaries of film (gender). It is certain that Caitlyn Breya represents a pioneer of some kind of French film, and her influence and effect are continuing to ferment... KateLin Breya claimed that she decided to make a movie after being influenced by Swedish film master Bergman's "Winter Light".Her debut work "Love Liberation" was cost-effective, but this film, which was narrative in the first person, is quite unique, expressing scenes and facing sexual problems with a direct and unpretentious attitude.Its style of free, avant-garde and experimental films is extremely similar to that of the American underground films of that year.Ten years later, her movie "Girls 36" once again attracted public attention. Not only was it praised by the New York Times as "French Lolita", but the Los Angeles Times also described it as "a few movies that have such an attractive and honest discussion about sex, with such fresh and sharp brushstrokes."However, her works are not intended to arouse the viewer's sexual desire by directly depicting sexual organs and sexual behaviors, but to make psychological and metaphysical essays about people's sexual attitudes. Therefore, she is also openly regarded as being one of the "defeated" traditions of French cultural circles such as Sade, Simone Povva, Polyn Reyagi ("O's Story"), George Bataille, Foucault, and echoing Japanese director Nagisa Oshima's "Sensory World" and Bettorucci's "The Last Tango of Paris". Not only that, her talent is not only attracted attention in the field of non-mainstream erotic avant-garde films. She once wrote the script of his movie "The Boat Continues" with Italian national treasure director Fellini; and sheThe novel "The Police" was also made into a movie of the same name by Cannes Palme d'Or (who filmed "In the Sun of Satan") and starred by one of the top French stars such as Geraldie De Padieu, Sophie Marceau, Sandline Bornar, etc. It shows her profound influence in the art, culture, literature, and film industry.So, how can Caitlyn Breya defend the inevitable controversiality of her films?"We live in a pathological society that compulsively accept morality. I try to manipulate the images to stimulate the audience and let them think about why they have these (unsettling) social reactions, and then understand that these fears and resentments are no big deal.I say this because I am the first person to be disturbed by these subjects and images.I'm a Puritan person, but you have to grow up and overcome these illogical reactions."We must change the aesthetic code, and we can make excrement and secretions lovely and beautiful.Moral disgust comes from the order of aesthetics, and we must challenge the fact that the (sexual) organs scare us.And the female vagina is like a black hole in the universe."After the release of her latest movie "Romance", it has been recognized by critics and audiences, making Breya believe that the audience can accept her debut: "(My) movie is still the same, but the audience has made progress.Now we want to see if the audience thinks it is a top film, or the emotions and reflection aroused by transcending the image and entering the image.”
