Blu-Ray Review: Catherine Breillat’s ‘Fat Girl’ Proves Unforgettable

I’ll never forget the profound level of shock and unease I felt during my initial viewing of the picture, which was eventually followed by a deep admiration of Breillat’s uncompromising bravery in tackling such disquieting material.
