With all due respect, vocklabruck, if you read YOUR OWN post carefully ("This woman's films always show teenagers being whores."), you'd realize you were contradicting yourself. Either that or you presented your argument poorly due to grammatical/typing mistakes? For example, in your last post you said, "...as every teen behaved like that..." Perhaps you wanted to say "as 'if' every teen behaved like that"? They represent rather different meanings. If you want to be accurately understood you'd have to accurately type.
I saw this movie with a group of friends of both genders, with ages ranging between late thirties and mid fifties. All movie lovers which is why we get together to watch movies. Some of us, like myself, have seen Breillat's films before, some haven't. Our reactions to the film were unanimously favourable, though in varying degrees. We were all, in various ways, reminded of our own fantasies/wonderment we had before actual experiences took over.
It's only natural that we fantasize about something we haven't experienced before. Unfortunately when it comes to sexual matters most religions tell their followers that such fantasies are wrong, dirty, and should be suppressed. And we all know where such suppression of emotions leads.
I guess one possible outcome is, when contradicted, stamping a big "bye" at the end of a weak retaliation. It's equivalent to a child closing his eyes tight, pressing his hands over his ears and screaming "Waawaawaawaawaawaawaa......" A rather sorry sight.
