SCFZ poll: Catherine Breillat

[flip]

Polling the films of director Catherine Breillat

The rules:

- your list can include no more than half of the Breillat films you've seen, up to a maximum of 5. So if you've seen seven of her films, for example, you can list only a top 3. It's only if you've seen ten or more of her films than you can list the maximum of five.

- i'll assume ballots are ranked unless you tell me otherwise. unranked ballots are fine.

- deadline for ballots: next Friday, in seven days, whatever day that is

- if anyone is watching films for these polls, then i'll extend the deadline three days, if someone requests an extension

- next poll: whoever posts the first ballot in this thread is free to nominate the director we poll next, unless you've nominated in this round already (everyone should get a chance). Already nominated this round: wba, greg x, ofrene, greennui, evelyn, bure, mesnalty

umbugbene created an index on letterboxd of all of our previous polls here: letterboxd.com/umbugbene/list/index-of-all-scfz-director-polls/

one rule for nominees: at least 3 scfzers need to have seen 10+ of a nominee's films, or at least 4 scfzers need to have seen at least 8 of the nom's films, so if it isn't clear if that will be the case, we'll confirm that's true before moving forward

if 24 hours pass after a poll opens, and no one eligible to nominate has posted a ballot, then i'll nominate someone, and then we'll start over, and everyone will be able to nominate again

since it's possible that breillat only slightly exceeds our viewing thresholds for polling, i'd ask anyone with 8+ breillat seen to consider voting for 4 or 5 films (whatever is the maximum by the rules), so we can be likely to get to a top ten.

Not my cup of tea, honestly, but somehow i managed to see her main movies. Sex is guilty?:):) In some way , yes:) After iron curtain, many cinema lovers like me tried to see all forbidden fruits:)

it looks like every breillat feature got at least one vote except perfect love (1996), though 1999's romance, which i had (perhaps mistakenly) thought was breillat's most famous/notorious film, only got one point:
