Anatomy Of Hell DVD

 A definate No
The most descriptive manner to review Anatomy of Hell is to ask the question "Did the movie achieve its objectives?" To answer that question as honestly as i can, the answer would be a definate "No". This movie does not achieve the substance that "Romance" achieved. The scene with the "Tampon" and the "Rake being inserted" is totally unnecessary. I sincerely believe that the an alternative approach could have been used to bring across the same message (if any!) So my concluding remarks "Buy this movie if you have money to waste"

 A movie that left me thinking, had to give it five stars.
Anatomy of Hell- I don’t know why I rented it, but I did, and I am pretty homophobic, so I did not know what to expect. I did not think I would like it. I knew Rocco Siffredi as a European XXX rated star, so did not think it go much deeper that that. The character played by Rocco (No names were used by the key actors.) is a gay man hanging around a gay club. A women played by Amira Casar. Amita’s character interacts with to get him to observe her in her most intimate (female) moments. (I won’t go into detail for those who have not seen the movie.) Some question were left as to why things happened the way they did, and why Rocco’s character became her target. Basically a very human female character (seemingly weak) takes (pays) a very antithetical gay Rocco and causes him to re-think why he is like he is, and his dislike of women. In director Breillat’s words "it is the meeting of the first man and the first woman." The interaction is very graphic and explicit at times- but I could not turn away from it. I have added it to my collection. “Director Catherine Breillat explores female sexuality and men’s darkest fears about women’s sexual power.” French with English subtitles- A movie that left me thinking, I had to give it five stars! –Brilliant!

 It's OK
Good film, but Breillat's "Romance" is better. This one have really shocking scenes with a rake (auch!), a lipstick and that one with the tampax challenges the limits between art and dirt. Casar and Siffredi's performances are right. The big problems: pretentious dialogues talking in the name of women, long useless silent scenes and this movie is not so explicit as I thought.

 EXPLICIT, EXTREME, EXCELLENT
GOOD AMBIENT, GREAT ACTORS, MINIMAL DIALOGUES, EXCELLENT TOPIC, BEAUTIFUL SUB-TEXTS... A NEW VIEW ABOUT WOMAN'S MIND AND BODY USING THE EYES OF A GAY GUY TO DO IT (SIFFREDI'S PERFORMANCE IS AWESOME). TERRIFIC ART PIECE ABOUT EXTREMES AND INSANITY. REALLY EXPLICIT, BUT INTELLIGENT. MISS BREILLAT RULES!!!!! BUY IT.
