À l'aventure

À l'aventure (2009) is a French drama you can watch online on iFILM. Sandrine has no complaints about her boyfriend Fred — except that sex with him leaves her completely cold. A chance encounter with her friend Sophie pulls her into something else: hypnosis, sensory experiments, encounters that blur the line between the physical and the spiritual.

Jean-Claude Brisseau — who previously directed Secret Things and Exterminating Angels — made this as the most inward-looking of his erotic trilogy. Carole Brana carries the film almost alone. Brisseau is less interested in shock here than in a genuine question: how does a woman find what she actually wants when she doesn't yet have words for it. Stream À l'aventure (2009) online on iFILM.
