Reviews for Anatomy of Hell
A waste of cinema, and of precious time.

The ultimate lesson being taught isn’t how homosexuality can be transposed to kinky hetero sex games.

I hate this movie, but only because it hated me first.

Breillat reduces sexuality to the basest coupling of body parts, and Anatomy of Hell reduces film to freak-show voyeurism.
01/07/05
Vagina dialogue this may be, but it seems much more like a bunch of arse.
11/26/04
One of the most groundbreaking films in recent memory in terms of both the explicitness of its sexuality and its commitment to such an austere intellectual discourse.
11/23/04
The movie strongly suggests that to be gay is to be a misogynist, that all men wish to do violence to women and that being female is the same as being miserable.
11/12/04
Top CriticGiven that [Breillat's] premise is that all men are guilty and all women are victims in the same manner, the film becomes a ridiculous socio-political rant, not a drama about the complexity of real life.
11/12/04
Forget the Anatomy, this is just plain Hell.
11/12/04
Top CriticPlays like porn dubbed by bitter deconstructionist theoreticians.
11/12/04
Top CriticA ponderous but very, very explicit exploration of gender roles and fears that frequently seems like a parody of the genre.
11/11/04
Top CriticUltimately less reminiscent of similarly themed efforts like Last Tango in Paris than of an explicit health education training film.
11/04/04
Top CriticNo one takes the fun out of sex like Catherine Breillat.

Top CriticBreillat uses this man and woman on a bed (sometimes only he is clothed, and sometimes the two of them are naked) as a way of exploring the meaning of women's bodies from social, political and personal angles, instead of purely sensual ones.
10/20/04
Top CriticIt offends because it is so empty-headed and seemingly gratuitous in the sludge it offers up.
10/19/04
It might not be a film that can be taken too literally, that doesn't mean it shouldn't be taken seriously.
