Sex is comedy (2002) - Catherine Breillat

Film quote:

Words are the best chastity belt there is.

Breillat quotes:

"The problem is that censors create the concept of obscenity. By supposedly trying to protect us they form an absurd concept of what is obscene."

"It's not just freedom to do a particular act. It's not consumerism. If you think of an orgy or falling in love, everyone would rather fall in love because it's really transcendental. The problem is that all governments and all religions have always been determined to make sex something dirty. Religion is afraid of the power of sex - because a person who can find the transfiguration of sex in her life is no longer a person who can be directed."
