Femmes asiatiques, femmes fantasmes
Geishas or schoolgirls, dragon warriors or lolitas, the Asian women has never ceased to fascinate Westerners. But what is behind the profusion of images associated with them? In her very personal way, Sophie Bredier, French director of Korean origin, questions these representations in art and in the collective imagination, meeting artists such as Jean-Paul Goude, Christophe Gans, Romain Slocombe, Mariko Aoyama, Setsuko Balthus... Delving into the paths of creation and traversing fantasies that have Asian women as their object, the trajectory of the film is that of the identification of an imaginary woman and the projections that we make of her.
