 |  | Thelma and Louise meet Natural Born Killers |  |
There is something different, something I really like about this violent, highly disturbing, shoddy movie... Oh that's right, it's the female protagonists/directors. Something about the portrayals of the women rings much truer than anything else I've seen on the big screen. And the fact that there is no sense morals, no real revenge exacted, certainly no heroes, but it still fills some kind of void. I wouldn't expect any man or most women to appreciate this movie or blame them for not doing so, but I still recommend it.
Rag on the French all you want, but repressed censorship fanatics they are not! A word of advice: send the kids to the babysitter when you pop this one in

Paid about $50 for it and was really short and slightly bad script. Was not as good as I expected, but very good quality and seemed very real!

I don't even know where to start with this one. Amateurishly directed, badly acted, metaphorically obvious (a woman is being sexually penetrated and she looks up to see an image of a gun on the television...how subtle!). A movie with an obvious political agenda...all men are scumbags and perverts, therefore it is alright for angry women to commit acts of rape and murder. The film strains so hard to be shocking and disturbing, but the only disturbing thing about it is that gullible people will be fooled into thinking it's a work of art.
I can't stand movies that treat gender issues so simplistically. To reduce the complexity of human relations to a cut-and-dried,
black-and-white worldview as this film does is truly criminal. Movies like this are harmful to your health.
And don't assume that I'm some close-minded chauvinist jerk or that I'm not familiar with shock cinema or foreign films, either.
July 29, 2008This movie is the french version of Thelma and Louise (same story) but with more violence and sex scenes. For fan only.

I think only the French could produce such a film: it is unerotic though sexual, vicious and violent and has a fairly thin story line. Two abused prostitutes go on a spree of violent revenge on men and end up on the run like Bonnie and Clyde. I watched it all the way through and didn't really enjoy it (it's not supposed to be enjoyed I guess) and I may give it a second airing to see if improves. Definitely not for the faint-hearted or squeamish!
