Catherine Breillat's film 'Sex Is Comedy' was inspired by her own experiences shooting a sex scene in her controversial feature 'A Ma Soeur'. Anne Parillaud plays film director Jeanne, a demanding perfectionist who has a challenge on her hands creating convincing on-screen passion between her reluctant young lead actor and actress (Gregoire Colin and Roxane Mesquida) who can barely conceal their dislike for each other. But the shooting of the film's most intimate scene brings the growing tensions between all three simmering to the surface. With disarming humour and brutal honesty, Breillat examines and atempts to understand what happens on a shoot when scenes involving physical intimacy arise.
