À ma sœur ! (For my Sister!), released in some English-speaking countries as Fat Girl, is a 2001 French drama film directed by Catherine Breillat.Sisters Anais and Elena Pingot (Anais Reboux and Roxane Mesquida) are on a vacation at the seaside with their mother and workaholic father. Anais is 13 and Elena is 15. Elena is a blossoming beauty, whereas Anais is her chubby kid sister; hence the English title. Elena is sexually active but has not yet lost her virginity, wanting her first time to be with someone who truly loves her. Anais is envious of her sister and longs to have sex herself, but is less of a romantic and claims she wants to lose her virginity to a “nobody” to just get it over with. Anais can only lurk, seething in the background, as Elena carries out a torrid affair with and eventually does lose her virginity to Italian exchange law student Fernando (Libero De Rienzo) in front of her.The film is notable for its themes of teenage sexuality, graphic sexual scenes (there is one uncensored shot of Fernando putting a condom over his erect penis)note a prosthetic was used, and for its ending.A major theme in the film is whether it is better to lose your virginity to someone you love or to someone you don't.Critical consensus would seem to hold that this is Catherine Breillat's best film. | |

À ma sœur ! / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: Although Anais is the younger sister, at times she can be more realistic and sensible than Elena. When Elena excitedly shows Anais the opal ring Fernando gifted to her, Anais is skeptical and surmises there must be some kind of catch. | |

Completely Different Title: À ma sœur ! (For my Sister!), a title which reflects the sisterly relationship portrayed in the film, sometimes becomes Fat Girl in English, which focuses more on Anais as the protagonist. | |

Sibling Yin-Yang: Elena is the conventionally attractive knockout who idealizes romance. Anais is the awkward kid sister, but at times shows more maturity than Elena and is not as gullible. | |

À ma sœur ! / int_997ce6ad | comment |
Boyfriend-Blocking Dad: Anais's father is clearly suspicious of Fernando, and as soon as he learns he's given Elena a ring (which wasn't even his to give away, no less), he immediately has the girls brought home so that he can ascertain whether or not she's still a virgin. Not that she ever makes it home. | |

À ma sœur ! / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: As Anais throws up on the side of the road during the car ride back home, Elena angrily wishes their mother was dead, and that she didn't care if she herself died too. When Anais tells her to speak for herself, Elena assures her that she has nothing to worry about, as she's not in the dead man (passenger) seat. Elena and their mother end up dying, while Anais, in the backseat, survives. | |

Parental Obliviousness: The parents don't seem to be all that involved in their daughters' lives. They are particularly cruel to Anais about her weight and eating habits. The father is a workaholic who leaves the vacation early when something work-related comes up. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For: A VERY dark example. Anais thinks it's better to lose your virginity to "nobody" just so you can get it over with. She ends up getting raped by an unnamed axe murderer. | |

Dull Surprise | |
À ma sœur ! / int_c1b2c63f | comment |
Dull Surprise: Anais's reaction to an axe murderer breaking the windshield and killing Elena is to continue chewing her snack and stare at the murderer with a dull expression. When the murderer moves on to strangle her mother, her expression doesn't change either and she simply gets out of the car. She is also fairly nonchalant about the ensuing rape, so much so that even the attacker seems caught off-guard. | |

Surprisingly Sudden Death: After an entirely Slice of Life plot, Anais's mother parks at a rest stop to get some sleep. Elena goes to the bathroom while Anais has a snack, and the two trade sympathies before Elena also naps. Then an axe murderer breaks through the window and kills both Elena and the girls' mother. No, really. | |
