All About Anna directed by Jessica Nilsson (with some additional scenes filmed and inserted into alternate versions of the film), is a film from a company associated with the director Lars Von Trier (Antichrist, Dancer In The dark) and is one of several films made to appeal to a female audience, featuring hardcore sex scenes and scenes of a very adult nature. The film complies with a "Puzzy Power Manifesto" which lays down strict guidelines of what should and should not be included in the film in order that it be tailored for female rather than male sensibilities. As Camilla, the flatmate of the Anna of the title played by Gry Bay, Eileen plays her role for laughs (and was directed to do so) however there is an emotional arc to her character who starts the film treating sex "as men do" as disposable fun and then finds that she has fallen in love with one of her boyfriends. Notable scenes are her failed seduction of Johan (unknown to her Anna's true love) and scenes where she drunkenly tries to initiate sex with her equally drunken boyfriend whilst covered in cotton buds which must rank as one of the greatest on screen drunk performances. Both Eileen and actor Adrian Bouchet (aka Mark Stevens) provided an entertaining commentary to the film when it was released on DVD. The film is available in a "soft" version from Germany. The film had a limited theatrical run in 2009 as a double bill with Lars Von Trier’s Antichrist.
