There's this iconic painting (Gustave Courbet’s 1866 ‘l’Origine du Monde’ (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3102/2356286300_7b9bd7c156_o.jpg) that much of the film pays visual homage to.

I have a hard time understanding French theory and I pretty much agree with everything that Ebert said in his review. I think it's telling that when I googled the film, I only found one positive review. All the others were negative. I had seen an interview with Breillat (the director) as part of a documentary that IFC did on sex and she was really interesting and well-spoken. I think I just picked the wrong one of her movies to watch. LOL

I will have to check that movie out. Thank you for the rec!
