Addendum to my first post ("Two Controversial Films")

I was thinking about those two films and wondering if it was significant that those are both instances of a male director exploring female sexuality. So, I thought I'd mention Catherine Breillat, a female director of highly explicit films concerning the sexuality of women––especially young girls. If you're interested and don't mind disturbing, non-simulated sex scenes, I'd recommend Fat Girl (À ma sœur!), probably her most accessible film. They have it at the Norlin DVD Collection.
