SYNOPSIS: 12-year-old Anaïs is fat.  Her sister, Elena, is a teenage beauty.  While on vacation with their parents, Anaïs tags along with Elena as she explores the dreary seaside town.  Elena meets Fernando, an Italian law student, who seduces her with promises of love, and the ever-watchful Anaïs bears witness to the corruption of her sister's innocence.  Precise and uncompromising, Catherine Breillat's Fat Girl is a bold dissection of sibling rivalry and female adolescent sexuality from one of contemporary cinema's most controversial directors.

EDITORIAL REVIEW:  As shocking as it is controversial.  Fat Girl was originally banned in Canada, and it doesn't take a genius to see why.  It took the threat of legal action by the film's original distributors to get the OFRB (Ontario Film Review Board) to review the film again, from a less objectionable point of view, and allow it to be shown publicly.  Perhaps it was the erections, or rape scenes, or maybe the whole film in general!  Think Ken Park, meets Karleken sprak meets Spielen wir Liebe.  There are edited versions of this film floating around, but here we present the complete uncut, unrated DVD that is packed with extras.  Fat Girl has probably one of the strangest endings you'll ever see.
