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.
orza1995 Baise-Moi follows the story of Nadine (played by Karen Lancaume) and Manu (Raffaëla Anderson) who are gang raped by a group of men, this vicious act is the catalyst for a full fledged femme- fatel revenge trip of sex and violence.Baise-Moi is one of the most sexually explicit film to come out since Deep Throat, the film contains sexual activates all involve actual sexual intercourse being shown. The sex in the film is placed to create a cutting edge feel to the film and to try to create a film that is "real". fans of John Waters early movies such as Pink Flamingos will feel a particular nostalgia and may even see this film as it truly should be seen as a transgressive cult film that has its tongue firmly in- check (pun intended).However on a technical level the film is severely flawed the cinematographic is simple and bland ,however this adds to the raw and brutal land scape the film creates. Other amateurish parts of the film include the some of the effects in respects to the action orientated sequences of the film ,where the actresses who are surprisingly very competent barring mind they have only acted in hard core pornography, come across as clunky and badly directed. This may lead to people coming away disappointed with the film and carry around the notion of emptiness and that the film is one dimensional. In regards to the acting the cast does a suppressing convincing job, especially the two main leads who portray these cold but loving women who enjoy killing and shagging there way thought France. This add to the notion that Baise-Moi has more of a parallel existences with John Waters band of misfits, most notably Divine. The violence is shot with no style and bring to mind the latter works of lucio Fluci, in terms of the technical side this proves that the tow directors are not the most artistically driven in terms of having an atheistically pleasing film. However on the other hand the film verity approach does add to interesting themes of the world falling apart, however the films overall action does make theses theme slightly frivolous in there overall impact and by the end of the film they have completely fallen out. Overall the film is flawed in respects of the technical accomplishment, but still manages to create an unforgettable film, that has hit the nail on the head in terms of pressing the right buttons and using the gimmick of real sex and saving itself from being a middle of the road copy of Thelma & Louise
kayden eryan Two women end up as serial killers in a raw uncut version of thelma and louise.The acting is amazing and you can connect to the characters and still feel empathy even though they are horrendous killers.It shows the vulnerability of women in society and the supremacy of men and how they take advantage of women.This is however flipped on to it's head in this film.It's really refreshing seeing the male in a vulnerable position physically,sexually and emotionally.I suspect the reason this has partly got such a low rating is because most men couldn't handle the contents of the film i.e 2 powerful women taking control of the male.It also shows men in a sexually pornographic vulnerable position.Another reason why a lot of men would feel uncomfortable with this film.Well done to the directors for being so raw with a well written and well acted film.It's really not for the faint hearted as some of the scenes are extremely graphic.
Mark J. Repp I will admit that I read the other reviews before I saw this film. Now I will try to be objective. This is NOT a revenge movie. Anyone calling it that has not seen it. True, one of the women has been raped, but she doesn't seem to care, nor does she want revenge. The other woman who joins her simply wants excitement. If you have to compare this to an American film, try "Natural Born Killers." That is closer in tone and theme than "Thelma & Louise" because there is nothing to like about these characters. They are cold-blooded, merciless killers who go on a rampage and enjoy murdering and having sex. Sometimes they kill the people they have sex with; other times they don't. But the bottom line is that this is truly bad filmmaking. It looks like something made by a pair of high school dropouts with no idea what the point of their film is. It is shot on video (not film), features adult film actresses, unrealistic violence, and has no impact. About half-way through, you may ask yourself why it was made. It really goes nowhere. Even if was a revenge film, it still wouldn't have been any good, because of the poor acting, poor production value and the fact that the first-time directors just haven't sharpened their talent yet. Who is the target audience for this? A porno audience? The horror film audience? It doesn't hit the mark in either genre. Who cares about the explicit sex and violence if it's so poorly made that you can't take it seriously? That is definitely the case with "Baise-moi."
