A L’AVENTURE (2009)
A film by Jean-Claude Brisseau
Provocateur, philosopher and taboo-breaker, Jean-Claude
Brisseau (Secret Things, The Exterminating Angels) ends his
trilogy with one woman’s exploration of her deepest desires in A
L’AVENTURE.
Desperate to leave her sexually unfulfilling relationship, Sandrine
encounters a mysterious woman through Greg, a young
psychologist. Fascinated by and attracted to Sophie, Sandrine
leaves her life behind in order to accompany her muse on a journey
that will allow her to explore her sexuality to the full.
With its rumination on the nature of existence, sexual abandon and
more than a fair share of sly humour, A L’AVENTURE is Jean
Claude Brisseau at his provocative, unflinching best.
"An intelligent, thoughtful script and outstanding performances make this a
rare example of an erotic-themed that doesn't simply exist for reasons of titillation."

“Tongue-in-cheek fun”
TIME OUT
“This former school teacher’s lectures on spiritualized sex and landscape… are a more
moving and useful curriculum than anything to be got in most high schools.”
