Synopsis:

A date that begins with "Exterminating Angels," Jean-Claude Brisseau's suave and salacious new movie, is likely to end up either in bed or in court. Or maybe both, which might be most fitting, since one of Mr. Brisseau's subjects is the volatility of desire, the way the path of erotic curiosity can swerve from satisfaction into recrimination and confusion. A porno-philosopher in the venerable French tradition, he blends a frank appeal to the audience's nether regions with some teasing attention to its mind. "I don't want this film to be about my fantasies," the film's lead character, François, insists. It seems likely, though, that somebody's fantasies are involved, Mr. Brisseau's, perhaps, or maybe Howard Stern's.

François, a filmmaker, is preparing a thriller. During screen tests for a brief nude scene with an actress, he discovers the pleasure some women can have in the transgression of minor erotic taboos. Driven by the desire to contribute something new to the cinema, he decides to make a film that mixes fiction and reality and centers on something which unexpectedly becomes an enigma and a taboo: the minor transgressions that are a source of pleasure. His research into eroticism raises basic questions. But like Icarus approaching the sun, he only burns his wings.

A filmmaker (van den Driessche) holds a series of boundary-pushing auditions for his project about female pleasure.
