French director Catherine Breillat, notorious for her extraordinarily frank studies of sex, directed this controversial film—released in the United States as Fat Girl—about the relationship between an overweight teenaged girl and her beautiful and seemingly promiscuous older sister. The sexual awakening of both girls during a vacation by the s

ea is explored in explicit detail, yet the film remains an absorbing family drama. Breillat loves to shock her audiences, and Fat Girl does not disappoint. In fact, it contains one astonishing shot that you are guaranteed never to forget. Be warned!
