Overview

Looting your own low points is the fuel of modern celebrity, but Catherine Breillat brings with it an intellect and purpose that devastates. Abuse of Weakness is based on her own experience of exploitation, but as she asserts in this wide-ranging interview, all her films are personal. Her work is discussed unflinchingly, covering censorship, confrontation and her unique working methods.
