French director Jacques Doillon is no stranger to controversy and in La Pirate, arguably his most provocative work, he assaults our sensibilities with this puzzling and harrowing portrayal of searing naked emotion. The film revolves around five disparate characters about whom we know nothing and with whom we are compelled to have little in the way of sympathy. It is a daring work which boldly tests the limits of what is acceptable in film drama. How much does an author have to reveal about his characters for us to believe in their situation, to feel involved in the story we see unfolding before our eyes? Doillon certainly doesn’t go out of his way to make it easy for his audience. The film starts with a jolt and then accelerates relentlessly towards its bleak dramatic ending with little if anything in the way of exposition.
