Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

leed-08035 Please don't follow my example by wasting your time watching this movie. Although the description to the movie seemed interesting, the movie itself doesn't live up to it. The story hardly makes any sense, it's just all designed to put in as much reason-less sex and violence as possible. I got the impression the movie is just trying really hard to cause some scandal that would help it sell. The visual quality of the movie is also awful. The images are constantly overlaid with white noise, simply because they used a bad camera in the dark. The characters are totally overdone. The movie basically is trying to tell you that everybody is a reckless selfish bastard and those who aren't are just losers. Of course some people think like that, but even for those people the way these movie characters act would be far too extreme and unrealistic. The dialogs and the acting do not feel real. Ever watched a crappy soap series and wondered how they could make it so bad. This movie is worse. The only positive thing I can say about this movie is, that the makers dared to show more skin than any Hollywood movie would ever dare. It's nice to see such courage in independent film makes, but in this case you're better off watching porn.Seriously, however tempting it is. Please, please save your valuable life time and don't watch this movie.

petarmatic I like this film because it showed true nature of some parts of French society. Plot was violent and pornographic, but original and adrenaline driven. Acting was excellent, we pay tribute to the deceased actress Karen Lancuame, who was a pornographic actress, but in this film played an excellent role and looked like a real professional actress. Other acting was excellent too.I was impressed with everything, imaginative plot, acting and directing. Camera work is excellent too. Real front runner of the New French Extremity wave of early 2000s.If you are a teen or in early 20s, and you like to watch a film which mixes violence, sex and Thelma and Louise type of one-time-shots-in-life films, this is a film for you.I strongly recommend this film.

jason-carney1-575-522883 It's a low budget movie and at first seems rubbish, which I suspect has meant many people gave up too early and underrated it. As the film develops the cheapness of the production only reinforces the harsh, unglamorous lives of the characters portrayed so don't be put off in the first few minutes as it really warms up! There is a degree of misandry in the casual violence inflicted against various men. However, I found myself cheering these acts on and rooting for the girls. The portrayal of sex is unusually explicit and I found this refreshing, far tamer than actual porn but still real(it helps to know the 2 main characters were transitioning from actual careers in porn!). It was refreshing also because the film was written by women and so women were not the victims of violence but revelled in being instigators. There was a definite edge to the disassociative personalities of the 2 women, who offered little reaction to their killings other than joy and I found this a good portrayal of sociopathy. The women did have redeeming features and some level of justification for their heinous acts. It was certainly a window on evil, but why should that always be about evil men? This caught me by surprise and I highly recommend this movie if you like sex and violence. If you have disdain for the likes of Rambo forget it!

billcr12 The listing is Rape Me, but another translation of the title is f**k me, which is interesting given the graphically violent subject matter. In a small town in France, Nadine, a prostitute, and Manu, a drifter who has done some acting in porn, unite and go on a killing spree. Manu and a friend are gang raped by three men. The other girl screams and fights, while Manu just lies back quietly. Later, when her brother finds out what happened, and asks who they are, and she won't tell him, he calls her a slut and she shoots him in the head. Nadine fights with her roommate over the rent, whom she kills before leaving with the rent money. She hooks up with Manu, and they head out on an eventful road trip, which begins with the holdup of a store and the killing of a woman at an ATM. These two take no prisoners. It escalates to a sex club, where they kill everyone in sight. The pair become cause celebres, with the public divided on them. Baise Moi is explicit in its depiction of sex and violence, with a grungy, low budget feel to the final product. Natural lighting was used and the two leads are actually adult film actresses. They are very convincing as amoral fellow travelers. I can assure anyone not easily offended, that this crime drama will not be soon forgotten.
