The filmmaker Solange has a young daughter and a husband with whom she sleeps with from time to time. But that's neither enough for a film nor a life. Solange wants more: she has an affair with Jim, a bisexual actor. But Jim is not the only one. Sometimes she needs two or three affairs even in one single night. It is on her sexual odyssey that she encounters Bruno, who seems immune to her arts of seduction and whose little humiliations inflame a heated passion within her. Their rendez-vous' follow strict rules. In their role-playing games they are not allowed to mention love verbally, nor may it arise as a feeling. This is how Solange and Bruno (also a film director) succeed in living their dream: night after night they meet as if for the very first time. While exploring the limits of her own desire, the experience makes Solange sexually and emotionally dependent. TAPAGE NOCTURNE as was Breillats first film, UNE VRAIE JEUNE FILLE (1976) is based on her novel.
BIOGRAFIE Cathérine Breillat
Catherine Breillat is a Paris based filmmaker and writer who became famous for her distinctively personal films on sexuality, gender trouble and sibling rivalry. Accused of being a "porno auteuriste", Breillat allowed for an unbiased view of sexuality and extended the language of mainstream movies. She is also a best-selling novelist and wrote her first novel, L'Homme Facile, at the age of 17. Breillat acted in Bernardo Bertolucci's El último tango en París (1972) and wrote the screenplay for Maurice Pialat's movie Der Bulle von Paris (1985) . Since her first own film Une vraie jeune fille (1976), which was released 23 years after its shooting, Breillat explored critically as well as in an innovative way the perceptions imposed on female sexuality, related family and coming of age issues.
