The "Very Best of Claire Castel" would necessarily highlight her incredible range. She is known for:

The cellist, an old man with a map of wrinkles on his face, watched with tears in his eyes. He had played for Nureyev. He had seen perfection. But this, he thought, was something else.

This title leans into the voyeuristic and swinging lifestyle themes that French cinema handles so deftly. It explores themes of sharing and compersion (taking pleasure in your partner's pleasure). Castel’s performance is notably relaxed and confident, showing a maturity in her work that elevates the genre.
