Review of Baise-moi (2000) by Tim L — 17 Aug 2012
Not really sure what to make of this one. On the one hand, you've got to admire the gumption of the independent film-makers for attempting to make a film that pushes every envelope they can think of with a restricted budget.
On the other hand, what starts as a Thelma and Louise style crime thriller soon descends into a 'how many taboos can we break in the time we have,' kind of film - rape - check, blowjobs - check, graphic murder - check.
I suppose I'm desensitised to it all, but what should have been shocking didn't really feel as such. Not a bad attempt though, and well worth a watch for fans of gritty drama. This won't be to everyone's taste.
