Peel me a Book
Catherine Breillat
"I film with my body. The camera is not an eye; it’s skin."

Peel the Author
A French filmmaker, novelist, and essayist known for dismantling the myths of femininity and desire. Breillat writes and directs with surgical precision, making the body both a battlefield and a manifesto. Her work exposes the hypocrisy of the gaze — the way women’s bodies are consumed, narrated, and punished — and turns that violence back on the viewer.
Voice
“What is obscene is not the body, but the way we look at it.”
Breillat’s voice refuses comfort. Her sentences, like her films, strip illusion bare — intellect against flesh, vulnerability as defiance. She doesn’t eroticise; she dissects, and in doing so, reclaims what has been objectified.
