Summary of Fat Girl - Criterion Collection
Twelve-year old Ana?s is fat. Her older sister, El?na, is a teenage beauty. While on vacation with her parents, Ana?s tags along behind El?na, exploring the dreary seaside town. El?na meets Fernando, an Italian law student, who seduces her with promises of love, as the ever-watchful Ana?s bears witness to the corruption of her sister's innocence. Precise and uncompromising, Fat Girl (? Ma soeur!) is a bold dissection of sibling rivalry and female adolescent sexuality from one of contemporary cinema's most controversial directors.Fat Girl is a typically shocking, utterly discomfiting provocation from director Catherine Breillat, whose excursions into female psychology and movie sexuality are anything but clinical. (See 36 Fillette and Romance for further proof.) Two adolescent sisters journey to the seaside on vacation with their parents; the younger sister is overweight and brooding, the older girl a beauty who attracts the attention of a smooth-talking boy. Much of the film is built around two painstaking seduction scenes, characteristically shot by Breillat with both comic and horrific overtones and long, uncomfortable takes. The final section then tips into an outright descent into hell--you can never let your guard down with Breillat. So complicated were the seduction scenes that Breillat subsequently made a feature about the shooting of them, Sex Is Comedy. Fat Girl was released under an alternate title, A ma soeur!, but Fat Girl, in English, is Breillat's original and preferred title. --Robert Horton
