Baise-Moi [DVD] K-18

Brittidvd, tekstit vain englanniksi. 

Sexually explicit French crime movie which stirred up some controversy on release. Manu (Raffaela Anderson) is on the run after shooting a man with his own gun and stealing his money. She soon meets Nadine (Karen Bach), also on the run having recently strangled her roommate. The pair team up and are soon involved with lots of sex, violence and a trail of dead men, with the police following closely behind.

Amazon.co.uk Review

When it comes to on-screen sex and violence it takes a lot to unnerve the French authorities, but Baise-Moi managed it. Three days after the film opened it was pulled from over 60 cinemas across the country, causing a major rumpus, and only allowed back after it had been reclassified X, a category normally reserved for hard-core porn. The title translates literally as "Fuck me", which pretty well sums up the brash, in-your-face style of the film.

The classification was not inappropriate, given that the film features plenty of genuine, unsimulated sex. Anyone hoping for arousal, though, might do better to look elsewhere. Baise-Moi is written and directed by Virginie Despentes and Coralie Trinh Thi, working from Despentes' novel, and stars Karen Bach and Rafaella Anderson. Despentes is an ex-prostitute, while Trinh Thi, Bach and Anderson have all acted in porno movies, and what they give us here is sex as female vengeance, a screwing-and-killing rampage that turns the tables on a violent male world. The movie's been compared to Thelma and Louise, but a closer comparison might be with Henry, Portrait of a Serial Killer.

As in most porno movies, the plot is the merest pretext. Nadine (Bach) is a part-time prostitute, Manu (Anderson) is a rape victim. When they meet up both have just killed, more by chance than design. On a whim they link up and take off across country, screwing and killing almost every man they meet. They kill a few women, too, just to even things up. The film's shot on crude digital video; technique is minimal and the acting is rudimentary. There's a certain raw energy that prevents the film from becoming totally depressing but the brief running time (77 minutes) comes as something of a relief. --Philip Kemp

In this explicit French crime thriller [with English subtitles], part time pornstar Manu [Raffaela Anderson] kills her brother when he implies she is a slut after she is gang raped. Meanwhile Prostitute Nadine [Karen Bach, aka Karen Lancaume] murders her room mate after an argument. Both girls meet as they attempt to flee. Striking up an uneasy friendship, they both hit the road and soon embark on a violent killing spree and sexual odyssey.
Picture quality is a bit grainy but adds to the sleazy atmosphere. With coarse and crude language throughout, violent rape, cold blooded shootings with explicit sex scenes [although 12 seconds have been cut]. This is a road trip of sorts, but lacks the humour of ‘Beautiful Creatures’ and the cutesy sentimentality of ‘Thelma and Louise.’ This is a warts an all journey through the dark side of life by two emotionally damaged characters ostracised by all around.
The single disc offers play, scene selection and extras [making of, Q&A session, trailer, other trailers, coming soon trailers]. This is not an easy film to watch, although explicit, it’s not erotic or designed to titillate, it’s simply violent, functional and quite sad. The characters lash out at all around, even those who try to help and sympathisers fare the worst. It’s a realistic and sobering vision of the ostracised, written and directed by those that have ‘lived’ it. If sex, nudity, violence and swearing offends, then you’ll be shocked by this. If you want a hard hitting portrayal of urban depravity and retaliation, then this will do the trick if you’ve a hard enough stomach to sit through it. A definite X rating.
