Customer Reviews of Baise-Moi

Not a very good film
This movie has created a great deal of hype concerning it's extraordinarily violent content and cut up porn scenes. The writer/director would have you believe that this matierial is groundbreaking stuff, but it isn't. Nothing in this ever goes beyond exploitation. If you watch this movie and 'I Spit on Your Grave' then you will find this one even more ludicrous. The motives for the main characters actions aren't even close to the girl in the other movie even though the two feel similar. Some have compared this to Thelma and Louise, the truth is that Thelma and Louis didn't use its material to exploit the evils of society and this one does. It does it like most exploitational films so it as well, in an amateurish fashion with little to no sophisticated camera work and really bad dialogue because the emphasis is on realism, not dramaticism, right? A story like this could happen, but does that mean it would make a good film? Also, at a running time of 77 minutes how can this film feel any way except half baked. To me this film only had the message that woman have the power to kill man and have sex with a man whenever they want, and in whatever order that they desire. I knew that, but did a film have to be made in order to emphasis this evil. By the way, I don't mean to imply that males doing the same thing are any less evil, I'd feel the same way if the sex of the lead characters were changes, it was just that bad.

Sex, gory violence, and...nothing more.
Baise-Moi a.k.a. Rape Me has been banned in several countries throughout the world as it displays real sexual interaction between the characters and merciless violence that is burnt into your retina. The story surrounds two young women, one working as a prostitute and the other an adult film performer who has recently been raped. The argument that the women are victims is quickly discarded as both women seem to enjoy their occupation as they seek out environments where they can sexually interact with people. Their quest-like adventure for sexual domination while executing the men and women that cross their paths serves no real purpose more than filling the empty void within, which could be lust, greed, or any other of the seven deadly sins.

Baise-Moi gives a reference to Gaspar Noé as the film displays a scene from I Stand Alone (1998) while one of the girls is selling her body to a customer. Noé also directed a film named Irreversible (2002), which is in far more gruesome than Baise-Moi. However, Irreversible displays an artistic intellect and a moral to the story despite the stomach turning violence to which most viewers must turn away their eyes. In Baise-Moi there is not a direct moral to the story as the women show no remorse to their violent behavior which they happily embrace while cursing out their victims. The film illustrates that two women can act like pigs in a similar fashion which men have done for centuries. This is not a positive step forward for womanhood, but a couple of steps backwards. In the end the film will make many wonder why they made this film, besides purely monetary purposes. Nonetheless, there will undoubtedly be people who will defend the film and its meaning, which I am still unclear about.

Excellent Movie- Buy It!
First people need to learn the difference between a B-movie and a brillant written Independent movie. This is one of the most excellent independent films I have ever seen. Let me also add, this is also a foreign movie- so if your taste is not into subtitles and international cinema then you may not want to purchase it.

Now for the movie. I won't give anything away. This movie is about two women and their lives. Both are sick of the way they have been treated by society and people. The story tells a thrilling tale of what happens when someone snaps. That's all I am going to say about it. If you're expecting me to tell you the story well I don't do that sorry. Rent the movie and try it out for yourself.

The acting is superub and although never seen before, the actors/actresses pull off a dynamic performance that keep you watching, makes you think, and even at times make you blink.

This film is very sexually explicit, but not an ADULT FILM. Again people need to know the difference between pornography and a great story with some sex. I see why the director wanted to make this as explicit as it is, this movie is about violence placed upon women and how women fight back, it would have given the movie less impact if it didn't show some sexuality and sex. Besides most french movies ARE explicit anyway.

Children should NOT view this film. Also if you are easily triggered with your own personal stuff- Don't Watch It. Because certain scene are pretty gruesome.

This movie is in great connection with Natural Born Killers and Monster. So you decide.

The DVD allows you to turn off subtitles if you speak french. Also has Chapter headings, a Gallery, and some extra stuff.
