Baise-Moi

[Requiem-for-a-Dream]

Baise-Moi- 1/10 or 10/10

Rated X for Pornographic Sex and Rape, Strong Violence/Gore, and Overall Content.

I don’t know what to say, I haven’t a clue how to review this film. Most know by now that this sex film “depicts actual penetration”. That’s one way of putting it, the other is to say that it’s porno, plain and simple. But, it’s not just porno; it’s trying to say something about the relationship between sexual power and violent behavior that men commit. The two women in this film act like sexually depraved men, which is the point. A prostitute and a rape victim (who also stars in infrequent porno flicks for cash) begin a sex-romp-killing-spree. When I first read that this film was just like a porno, I was skeptical. I didn’t fully believe that a mainstream film could contain real, onscreen sex. Mark my words, it’s porn. On one hand, the film has a strong message to deliver, on the other hand, it goes way too far to try and deliver it. This includes the aforementioned real sex and a rape scene with penetration (although it’s acting, it’s still very sick). Lovers of sexploitation/gore flicks will get a kick out of it for certain, and those who would like to observe a powerful message may find some redeeming value in it, but all others STAY AWAY.

Acting- 5/10
These women are porn stars, not much acting involved there and it shows. Although occasionally, they do have a tidbit of a good performance slip out.

Directing- 1/10 or 10/10
It's the typical documentary style flick that has been WAY over done in the past few years. Although it add an authenticity to it, it's also very cliche for an exploitation flick to do.

Gore- 9/10
Blood filled. Extreme shootings, graphic beatings, and one shooting that will haunt you forever! Well, I’m still haunted by it.

Nudity- 10/10
It’s a porno, what do you think? Graphic fellatio, hardcore/X-rated sex, and tons of non-sexual nudity as well.

This really isn't my kind of movie so I'll probably stay away from it.

You might wanna stick with your plan. Most will find this movie really sick. It reminded me of Cannibal Holocaust (a movie which I love) in the way it was presented. It's powerful but disgusting.

I thought this would be a more popular thread considering the films notority. Anyone else seen this odd flick?

God I hated this movie. Not cause it disturbed me but more cause it bored me to death. Nothing engaged me in the film, not the story, characters, the sex or the violence. It tried too hard to shock and just wound up stinking up the joint. Fuck this movie in the ear!

Thanks for the opinion Arrow, I'd love to see you review it.

****SPOILER*****

If you can stomach watching a chick PUKE on a guys cock whilst giving him head....and then LAUGH about it while wiping the vomit from her face..cause ya realize she INTENDED to make herself GAG..... you may make it thru the rest of this flick.





Mixed emotion on this one. This has been compared to an ultra violent Thelma & Louise.... on surface only. VERY POOR charactor buildup and execution in trying to get the "message" across.. whatever that message is... its buried in nihilist acts and images. I dont know if this was the directors intent... but ultimately, the flick plays out like that; as we are treated to shocking/violent/sexploitation images thruout.... and in THAT it succeeds... its probably the FIRST created to hold such a title..... if there is one.
4/10
